1.30x multiplier on Easy doesn't affect difficulty that much imo. The base SV is really low for typical Easies of this bpm (0.60x) and the lower the base SV, the less a multiplier actually affects total slider speed. (0.60x SV x 1.3 = 0.78 = increase in 0.18 SV // compare it to say // 1.8x SV x 1.3 = 2.34 = 0.54 increase in SV).
You can say that as a whole, the map becomes "harder" because the SV (and DS) end up increasing, but the increase in difficulty is already warranted due to the presence of a kiai.
As for the SV change being difficult for new players, I don't think anyone has any basis to say that unless they've asked new players for their opinions. Modding experience will only tell you what is acceptable, and what most Easy's will follow. What is to say new players won't enjoy increased SV's? And is there a reason we shouldn't try to be innovative on lower difficulties anyways? Anyways, that, and SV changes on Easy are perfectly acceptable as long as they apply to an entire section of a song.
Just my opinion on SV changes on Easy. It's an easy fix though I mean, come on, it's an Easy lol. If the community can't agree on keeping the SV's, changing it to appease people isn't hard either. Remember, it's your map and you can do whatever you want with it. But it's also a BN's bubble, and they can do whatever they want with it.
