Light mode is already really close to auto-pick, since accuracy doesn't seem to be as important (why bother? you'll still be alive at the end...). You can literally play 2-3 notes for every 10 you miss and still manage to pass the song with Light mode... surely someone doing the same thing on DM will die before half the song is done, right?
IMO DM's difficulty is just right. If you choose to do auto-whatever... sure, it's a little bit easier to play, but you have fewer notes to mess around with. The 80s patterns, for example, are much more difficult than the 60s patterns, and when you don't have as many "free" notes to help you build meter, you'll find yourself dropping out of those harder songs despite the auto-whatever.
Really not trying to come off as an elitist or anything... in the end it's all about having fun. You can still have a great time on the ADV charts for most songs... Light mode is like using training wheels -- sooner or later you'll want to get rid of it. The transition from Light mode -> normal is almost as difficult as the transition from auto-bass -> normal...
EDIT: DM always seemed more "cool" to me. I mean, you actually look like you're playing the drums! GF is what... 3 buttons and a plastic pick? You can actually see good players doing well in DM, and there are differing techniques, as well as opportunities for freestyling and other assorted games (speed-changing, anyone?)... what can you do in GF? Good as you may be, you're still doing the same thing as some dude who just walked by and decided to put a dollar into the machine :p
That's actually why I started playing -- cos nobody else does (NO LINEUPS \o/) | DrumMania V4's "Normal" = GuitarFreaks V4's "Light"
DrumMania V4's "Tight" = GuitarFreaks V4's "Normal" http://www.konami.jp/bemani/gfdm/gfd...howto0608.html
Don't get me wrong, though. While I find it challenging to pass Level 60+ songs even with Light being on, I think it's awesome that you guys can play Level 80+ songs with ease and do well
