I like to be challenged, but I don't want a meat grinder.There is no one true way.  I can't imagine playing video games on easy and never have (well outside of the occasional boss fight that just goes on forever).  But that's how some people play every game.The difficulty is balancing so no one player or PC always hogs the spotlight.  Mix up challenges and encounters.  If there's a guy who always hides in the back, have the monsters flank the party now and then.  Occasionally have the orcs show up in fireball formation so the wizard can show off.Remember that not everyone plays for the same reason as you and pay attention.  That's about all you can do.</blockquote>
