Mistaking difficulty for other things

[Rhianu]

Difficulty = (chance of failure) x (penalty for failure)

Personally, I like my games to have a high chance of failure, but a low or non-existent penalty for failure. That way, I have to play well and play smart in order to overcome the obstacles of the game, but I don't get frustrated or angry when I get killed.

pretty much same, though no failure pentalties i like only cause ...with them people end up quiting if you don't rip threw it in 1-2 tries ..so no penalty can keep most people trying long as the group don't suck and it's just really hard content.

for non mmo games i am the same but i don't like repeating things. i'll play on hardest mode and quit usually. never playing it again. with mmo's it's all repetetive, but i like stuff like cop where it was very hard and i didn't really need to do it again. if they could make something like cop and add it in every 6months i'd never leave this game.
