I've proven that people have stopped playing the game because of it.

It doesn't mean it's flawed. Sure, new players can make a mistake there; that's exactly what I did. I went straight for the graveyard. However, there's also a very easy to spot, accessible pathway up the cliff and to the Burg. It's an easy fix. It's not like players have to grab a key that's hidden in a chest behind dirt that you need to interact with after talking to everyone three times. 

What you're forgetting is everyone was a new player at some point and had to learn that those skeletons wreck your shit early and another way has to be there. Millions of people have bought the game, and I'm certain millions have enjoyed it. The game isn't that accessible to new players; fine, but it's better for it. Instead, the game makes players better. It brings them up to the game's level, not the other way around. It's a challenging game that challenges new players, and they can be really engaged and entertained if they open themselves up to it instead of playing a game like AssCreed where fifty guards will stand in a circle for minutes on end and play Red Rover with you while you press a tiny little button to instantly kill them.
