   Slidertick rate 1?
   Even though there are no technical issues with this, I will be rude: this difficulty is wrong for these reasons:
   - It is not a Easy at all. It's a Normal at the very least.
   - It's one of those boring all 1/1 stuff. I refuse to accept it.
2. .Suggestions: (Fixing this should make gameplay/aesthetics a bit better)
   That said, I suggest to remove some beats to add some more variation to the rhythm (you might need to rearrange some patterns):
   00:07:972 (2,5) - 00:13:639 (2,5) - 00:20:306 (3,7) - 00:25:306 (2,6) - 01:01:306 (2,5) - 01:08:306 (5) - 01:07:972 (4) - 01:10:639 (4) - 01:13:639 (5) - 01:22:639 (2,5) - 01:33:972 (5,7) - 01:39:306 (4) - 01:41:972 (4)
   This does not include some sliders that would work better as single beats.

   A Hard with the Difficulty settings of a Normal. In my opinion plays/looks/feels better with Circle 4, AR 6 and OD 5. Basically I'd use those settings and rename as Hard.
2. .Suggestions: (Fixing this should make gameplay/aesthetics a bit better)
   Still, I'd take the opposite approach and do the same thing as Easy, removing some beats:
   00:03:139 (5) - 00:04:472 (5) - 00:05:806 (5) - 00:07:139 (5) - 00:08:806 (5) - 00:10:139 (5) - 00:11:472 (4) - 00:14:139 (5) - 00:14:139 (5,10) - 00:29:472 (5) - 00:30:806 (3) - 00:32:139 (3) - 00:56:806 (5) - and so on for all the similiar patterns.

   This doesn't suffer the over/undermapping Easy and Normal have.
   01:47:306 (4,5) - not really fitting imho.
2. .Suggestions: (Fixing this should make gameplay/aesthetics a bit better)
   I'd only remove these: 01:17:556 (7) - 01:18:889 (7) - 01:20:222 (7) - 01:21:556 (7) -
   01:41:972 (4) - move it here:

   Hard? Are you kidding me? This is Insane, no excuses.
2. .Suggestions: (Fixing this should make gameplay/aesthetics a bit better)
   01:49:306 (2,3) - only these two feel really weird. I suggest moving them like this:

   If you rename gow's to Insane, this could be renamed as "Extreme". That way you'd have Easy - Normal - Hard - Insane - Extreme which is a really nice spread a would show better how the difficulty layout is made.

   Nice as usual.
