Ya, and in extreme sports the thrill is in falling down right?

The thrill is preventing the punishment, not the punishment itself. You may not have experienced it, but I have had fights in EQ where I actually lived with less than 10 hp remaining...that is a thrill knowing that I barely escaped a few hour loss on CR and grinding. If the game was set up like WOW I would not have cared at all (in fact, it would probably have been quicker to die and repop at full health/mana to save med time).

Just as some people choose to avoid extreme sports because they don't want to get hurt, maybe you should choose the same?
