Honestly? The game was never designed to be easy, if you can't fight the enemy or do specific quest just skip it and come back later when you have better party. I am so tired of every single game that many companies do that are like, oh let me help you do this and that and in the end you end up just pointlessly clicking just to finish it, because there has never been a challenge in a first place. Same goes with difficulty level, lets just buff enemy damage and decrease PCs one and there you have Hard/Insane, but PoE takes a different approach and of course there is a mode with that too, just for the sake of it. Maybe you made a terrible character in a first place that cant handle anything and you dont read the hints, there is so much info in the game that you can learn how to play it, but no lets just complain that "easy is too hard". If it was easy I would again feel like I am playing Skyrim and fighting a dragon, oh wait these 2 bandits just slain him, why does this land need a hero then?
