There are a lot of people bitching at him because they want to grind old missions over and over. He explains that grinding isn't necessary for the game, and if you're struggling to lower the difficulty. These people are as ridiculous as the idiots that used to bitch because Fallout 1 had the quest for the water chip timed.
Kinda skimming some of this and it's really amazing to me. How dare you have a defined progression expectation that allows you to balance encounters!? I'd rather grind forever and a day in order to beat a required map because that's totally not just bloat and padding.
I really think that the only way to deal with this shit is to be like: this is my game, like it or lump it.
