Several of the others - A lot of your 'hardest achievements' appear to be colored by you saying games are laggy.
I should have made it more clear that certain quests were hard for me due to lag. Whenever I can I will play a flash game on the lowest settings. The only time I don't is if the game doesn't allow setting changes (no right click option or in-game menu for settings) or if the game runs fine on higher settings.
Achievements I said involved lag:
Mutant Stomp. It wasn't only the lag that made this hard and if you check out
the quest page for Road of the Dead 2 you will see other users complaining about lag
Wasteland Stars
No Sacred Stones
Evil Superstar These three quests were from the game
Cursed Treasure 2. One, the game doesn't include a quality setting. Two the lag seems to be from a memory leak in the game. The longer you play the more it lags (although this may be fixed now?) so the lag had little to do with my computer. Three, at the time I played the game it was not rebalanced so the quests relied heavily on random number generators.

Incursion 2 The ArtifactWith these three games I played them in the lowest setting I could and they still lagged.
Out of the 24 quests I listed I only mentioned lag in 8 of the quests and out of those 8 quests, 4 of them were difficult for other reasons beyond lag (those 4 being Mutant Stomp, Wasteland Stars, No Sacred Stones, Evil Superstar).
So out of 24 quests I listed only 4 I considered difficult almost solely due to lag. I also was very clear to put those quests in a separate category of -
Hard Quests for Other Reasons: Game Issues.
In the end it was not a lot of quests that I considered hard due to lag, but only a few.Also, I defined what I was considering as
hard at the beginning of my post and I made it clear that hard to me included four different areas
- Time consuming
- Takes a lot of skill
- Takes a lot of luck or Takes a random occurrence
- Game issues
Game issues included lag and I was very clear on separating quests that were hard for one reason or another and quests that were hard due to lag (placed under the game issues section).
From my perspective, I agree on the quests we are considering hard, the difference is in that we are both defining hard in too separate ways. I would include "stupid and annoying" as equivalent to hard while you don't. I did basically point that out in the beginning of my post when I defined what I was considering hard. I'm defining hard in this instance as just
hard to get, whether it was hard to get because skill was needed, or if it was hard to get because luck was needed, or if it was hard to get because it took a large amount of time (but no skill or luck), or if it was hard to get because some outside factor (like game lag), or if the quest was hard to get due to some combination of these factors.
I'm getting that you are defining hard to mean a quest that is difficult by skill and skill alone. (Which is a fine definition for hard as well). But to me, a quest that takes 20 hours of playtime to get, whether it's due to time needed practicing a skill or just waiting for a lucky, random in-game event to occur, I would consider hard because it's still hard to get, just in a different way. It's hard to get a degree in Engineering (for most people) and it's also hard to run an ultramarathon, they are both hard, but for different reasons.
But in the end, I get what you're saying. Some of the quests I listed may have only been hard for me. Or perhaps defining hard quests based solely on skill and not luck or outside factors may seem like a more true rating of the quests, thus negating some of the quests I listed. To me though, the quests I listed were difficult for me to obtain, some more difficult in one way or another.
