Default Mass Effect Too Easy?

Playing today, I realized something, The games combat can be BORING on lower Difficulty settings.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

EDIT: I realize it matters what Level you are.

I prefer to start new characters on Normal, and move up difficulty as they move up in level, eventually stopping at The max available at that time.

I seem to get the most enjoyment out of Hardcore setting (Character Lvl. 30-50)

It seems that this game is at its best, when it PUNISHES you for not using your head.

For me, I've found that the sidequests have become extremely boring on the 3rd time through. I've played both the paragon, the renegade and the neutral perspectives and I know what happens for each part. I still enjoy the combat system and changing up the party should change how you approach each encounter. With the combat party I never have mercenaries randomly floating around, which is annoying at best.

I have so much fun completely annihilating waves of enemy. Their tears are so satisfying.

Totally agree that destroying everything on normal is pretty monotonous.

The fighting was always not the most engaging but the other aspects of the game make up for it in my opinion

Yeah, now I'm at a high level, its and I have my entire team armed with Specter X gear, and the high level armour and mods, it just seems like I'm indestructible on normal, and my shots are usually one-hit-kills.
