I ignored the OP because I'm trying to keep my temper around here a little better, but... this is too much.

Jumping in late I noticed the game was a lot harder even on bronce.
Harder than what? The demo, which was adjusted heavily for launch? Single player?
Weapon damage was reduced greatly and enemy damage was increased a lot.
No, they weren't. Geth and
some Cerberus units have had buffs to health and damage, from 10-20% depending on the unit and the difficulty. That extra 75-150 health is worth less than half a second's worth of fire from an Avenger I.
I finally started getting good and could complete silver challenges for the first few days but then the game got harder and harder. So hard in fact that my last 7 games on silver my squad could barely reach wave 9. Thats 3.5 hours of play for a crappy 80k credits.
You found Silver too difficult after two weeks of play; I don't think that's unusual. Is there a reason you can't select Bronze difficulty? The same 7 games would have netted you about 105,000 credits there, and probably gone a little faster.
And regardless of whether a particular reader agrees with the OP, it's pretty certain that the game hasn't gotten substantially harder over
the past two weeks, which is the timeframe we're talking about.
I've had enough, I know nerfs won't come so I'm quitting. All the veterens and their quest for a harder game have ruined it on the new guys so I wish them luck. Their own selfishness will destroy this game and in 5 months when its hard finding a game, just remember , your will to have a harder game is the reason MP died.
There's no way not to put this in personal terms, but I'll try to keep it appropriate: a lack of perseverance on your part doesn't constitute a problem on my part. Also, it's worth returning to the question of why, if you find the game too difficult, you don't simply lower the difficulty setting.
As for the veterans that will flame my statements. Not everyone is as skilled as yous or have as much free time as yous to play. Get over it. I play video games for fun and play online to have fun with people around the world. I don't play games to frustrate the crap out of me. Goodbye and please stop telling newbs to just get better with your maxed out gear that can counter these buffs.
Hi! I play for the same reason, and I also don't have a lot of free time. I get to play maybe twice a week, for two or three hours at a time.
But, one more time: the game has three difficulty settings. Two hours of play on Bronze, at half an hour per match and assuming you get to extraction only half the time, is worth 36,000 credits. If you can do that twice in a week, you can afford 14 Recruit Packs (15, including the one you start with). Because the store is often frustratingly random, that won't always level everything you have up--but those packs will contain a mix of weapon upgrades, experience for your characters, and weapon mods that will in turn make Bronze difficulty easier.
Repeat the same over another weekend, and it's likely that you will begin to have common weapons and mods maxed, and can more effectively move on to Silver. If you try to jump into Silver straightaway, you're going to abruptly find that there are more enemies there, and they deal more damage; the later waves include multiple bosses, which can be a challenge even for experienced players.
So, finding the difficulty you selected too much for your brand-new character, your considered reaction is to blame other people--namely the developers and "veterans" of BSN--and ragequit.
I would strongly encourage you to reconsider that decision and give the game a second try. It's consistently enjoyable once you get over the initial hurdle of moving from SP to MP, and I find the developers' efforts to keep the game balanced to be a net positive for the game.
