I, for one, enjoy a challenge... it's one of the reasons I keep coming back to the table to play every week. I think some of these are really great ideas. We just had a very humbling encounter last night, where our 18th level party (which had been virtually unstoppable) encountered a deity who put us in our place without killing anyone but in a very eye-opening manner. It's good to help us players remember we're not immortal and infallible sometimes. The game is less fun when you think your character is always completely safe.
