I think that they attainable option, number 3, should be changed to something like mediocre, average, or something of that sort..it would make the list more congruent considering they are all difficulties and then the middle one is attainable?? ex: childs play, easy, hard to achieve, impossible. Attainable just doesnt fit and it really doesnt make sense, even though i do understand what it is supposed to represent, bc in truth all achievements are 'attainable' bc if they werent then they wouldnt be achievements...so in short i think we should just change the attainable option to some adjective more suitable for the difficulty

if the poll is 1 to 5. and you select 3, wouldn't you assume it's medium? people usually relate better to numeric scales.

yea thats my whole point...the name should correlate with the number as 1 is childs play and 5 is whatever it is (impossible?)....then 3 should be called lets say...average

But attainable is average, attainable - it can be achieved but not as easy as 2 nor as hard as 4, I believe it is perfect as is.

Attainable means mediocre and average. If something was to be changed, I'd make a different thing for 5 and make Unattainable a whole different option, as many people put it at 5 when it is just too hard for them.

I concur whole-heartedly. The difficulty is my opinion is fine as it is, though you do raise some good points chill. However, the effort it would take to change all the old polls, and make all the new ones the same...it's just too much to do.
Why fix what isn't broken you know? I can understand that it may seem a little odd to have extremely easy -average- extreme kind of scale workig in the 1-3-5. But I think it applies very well to the achievement factor of games.
