This is no different then telling somebody to "get good" when they find it too hard. It's just the opposite. Get bad! Play poorly and pretend you're stupid. The answer is not telling people how to play the game, it's the devs actually listening to one of the largest complaints about the game. Difficulty, it's either too easy or too hard.

@Obi-Jorma The game definitely needs difficulty settings. For now I set the Players X setting when I play singleplayer, but it can't be used in multiplayer and it only affects creatures.
