- Your advice has merit, but isn’t helpful to a new player. This is the point that I absolutely refuse to accept, for one very simple reason: anything that boosts your performance on the higher difficulties will obviously apply to Easy, while the opposite is not true at all. Thus, going in with the mindset of optimizing Easy is inherently wasteful.

Available playtime and account age has nothing to do with anything I’ve said here; there’s simply no reason a new player couldn’t start optimizing from day 1, other than the lack of knowledge to do so. In fact, lack of available time to play only reinforces my argument, since an optimized progression plan will lead to much quicker progress.
