How important is difficulty to you in games?

I always play on normal difficulty. If the devs say that this is how the game was designed to be experienced, why would I go against it?
In some games you don't even get to pick, so there's no room to even question it.

Sometimes the game is designed on Hard Mode and they actually dumb it down on Normal mode. In Fire Emblem since Awakening is very much clear "Hard" is the actual designed difficulty, with "Normal" is the easy difficulty
