If its too hard for you, play something else.

I never understood the "make an easy mode" crowd. Look, i dont like dark souls or dark souls type games for the same reason i never played world of warcraft or league of legends. I dont want to put that much effort into video games. Its something i do for a few hours a week, i dont want to spend those few hours getting killed hundreds of times.

do i bitch about it? do i demand they make me an easy mode? no, i play elder scrolls or persona or smash bros or fallout or red dead or any of the countless games that are more in tune with what i enjoy. who gives a shit? play what you like and if you dont like it play something else.

Asking a game to change for me is as ridiculous as asking George RR Martin to change the ending to his book so i can enjoy Game of Thrones more. if you like it, put the effort into it, if you dont, pick another fucking game.
