For online games, do you prefer easy to Nintendo Hard, or a Nintendo Hard to easy?

Easy to hard. In MMOs at least, once you've gone through early levels (they rarely give much in the way of resistance), pimped out your character's equips and learned the ins and out, strengths and weaknesses of your class, you'd naturally want something that would test said skills to the absolute limit, just so you know that your character is capable of participating in the game itself after all the effort you put into it. One of the biggest downfalls of Maple in this respect is the lack of non-ridiculous high level PQs/boss fights/content in general. Your choices are HT or PB, area-wise it's chief oblivion guardians/Lyka. One is now considered 'easy', the other is so unbelievably difficult and has such high HP requirements that no-one even wants to try it. The area is just lol-worthy past 14x.

If a game just gets easier the longer you play, where's the sense of achievement and character growth in that? Rather than my skills just getting better and better, mowing down everything in their path, there should be things that actually provide some sort of resistance for high level skills. Once I start 1hkoing skeles (COGs after the updates) with my AMs Ult it's pretty much game over as of current. Once I can 2 Bstep + taunt COGs with my shadower, it's pretty much game over for that too (only thing I'd consider past that point is soloing BF, but even that's just a case of HP). For a game with a level cap of 200, this shouldn't be the case. I continue to play Maple in the hope that some content that actually tests my characters and their skills comes out.
