Serious question, who here actually tries to create such paranoia in their players? It's probably one of the biggest reoccurring memes around here and I don't entirely get it.

Is this the tone some people are actually trying to create and if so, why?

It could just be I have a very narrow group of people I've played with, but this doesn't necessarily seem a tone I'd be striving for.

I had a DM hide mimics and traps everywhere and then get pissed at us for "wasting" so much time checking everything for traps.

The confusion lies in calling them a GM. Sounds like they were just a dick

In a lot of ways, yes. It was my first time playing D&D, so I didn't really know any better.
