Of all the complaints I have had IRL "its too hard and I can't rest" is never one.having said that it is the 2nd best adventure 5e has from WotC and the hardest one they have out (although to be fair Frost maiden is a really close call there)Are there sections of this (and every homebrew I have ever run or played in) that are not areas you get to rest in, sure... but that is far from the default of the adventure. ESPECIALLY with experienced playersI don't think that is what [USER=2525]@Mistwell[/USER] meant... and where I understand times are rough and this thread and this site is more wild west then norm I think you are over reaching here. I agree with you, there are plenty of short rest opportunities. I had a warlock in every single version of this adventure and not once did they feel we didn't let them recharge (once I had a house ruled monk that got weird stuff on a short rest too)</blockquote>
