Rename the difficulty levels

It's a safe bet that most older players are frustrated when we open up the Party Finder and see so many Normal-difficulty runs, but I think there's a simple explanation as to why it's happening. Any newer player is going to see the word "Normal" and think, "Okay, that's the default difficulty, so I'll stick with that," since that's how it works on pretty much every game ever. It's only those of us in the know that realize Normal difficulty is a significant step down from the previous default level, which is now labeled "Advanced," a term that makes it seem more imposing than it actually is. So here's my thought: rename the different levels to something like "Easy - Normal - Elite," and you more accurately describe the difficulty progression, and hopefully get newer players to try the game at a more representative difficulty level.

But people don't want to

But people don't want to think they're playing on Easy mode when they get thrashed. They want to think they're playing on Normal mode, and think that only no-lifers can succeed on higher difficulties.

Also, it makes them feel good when they beat a Shadow Lair, since everyone used to describe them as mildly challenging, so they feel like they overcame a great challenge without realizing they're on easy mode.
