The only 2 things i can think of is durability being gone, which by all means doesn't make the game easier, just waaaaaaay less annoying.

 

The other is phoniex mode, which is again an easier option for those that suck at the game. It doesn't have anything to do with Us, or players that actually going in for well.... a strategy game

 
since we can use our wepons forever, the game is indeed easier.

Not really...this isn't a retroactive change. The game is (theoretically) being balanced taking these changes into account. This means that instead of being able to cheese through hard fights by whipping out the OP weapon you've been saving, you will be expected to maintain a certain level of attack power through your characters and you will always be at or close to the point the game expects you to be at, leading to a more smooth difficulty curve.

The fact that this change was made by simply removing an element that was tedious and uninteresting makes me think that the change only makes things better.
