Well, making the game all that easy would, IMO, spoil it a little. I'm not saying you don't have a point, but something more challenging than what I had before would be welcome. Besides, I hate to give up the story for a while to level up.
Oo! Now I remember - I did have a problem with beating a monster once, but just that once. It was the Wraith. Dear God, that thing made me go crazy!
