Guys, it's bad that I only play for pp?
For example, im playing 1300 max combo map. After i lost combo like on 900 i automatically closing this map and go for another. Because i know i will get nothing from that or like -100.
Is it only me or someone playing like this too?

Yes. If you ever saw people complaining about the game being suddenly boring, unfun, wanting to quit... it's often because they were playing only for pp, and finally reached a point they couldn't gain pp anymore.

Have to say going for pp is no way near a viable target in osu!, as it heavily penalizes anything that is not a full combo.

Just enjoy whatever songs you like, and once you've got the skill pp will naturally come.

Thats why im quitting after missing. You can have 1250 combo on 1300 max combo map and you will get +3

You should stop quitting after missing. Soon enough there will be a rework in place that will fix all your problems and base pp off misses instead of combo. Low miss count = big pp in rework, even if you miss in the middle.

Though be ware, ending or beginning misses will cause the play to be worth less than it is now in that rework. Also not retry spamming just helps you build better consistency and fundamentals for the game.

Yes, it is.
Playing only for high-pp fcs means you're only staying in your comfort zone / not straying very far from it, which will hinder your improvement and result in an unbalanced skillset due to only sticking with what you're already good at / what gives pp. Also, retry spamming harms your consistency, which will make fcing harder.

Not as black-or-white answer i can think of

Yes in a sense that you are missing out on more playstyle and skillsets that are not as rank-rewarded in osu. One example is EZ. Due to it intrinsically being Difficult reducing mod but it can be turned out to be much more painful than diff increasing mods, it's very much neglected in the eyes of the ranking and so, it's a esoteric means to enjoy osu that only a handful would enjoy. You'd pretty much have to give up any result-driven approach (pp/rank) for appreciating EZ for it's challenging memory and reading-based skillsets.

No because remember, osu is just a game! What is fun shall stay within yourself and people in a similar vein. You have to be open in mind that pp is often derived from mechanical skillsets and only mastering such will leave you out undeveloped for any technical skillsets. Because if you're fine with the way it is, then no worries!

I personally believe everyone should give themselves a chance to grow a step toward versatility. It gives the balance of enjoyment and challenge in osu.

Not really a bad thing. Play the game in whichever way is the most enjoyable to you, even if that enjoyment stems solely from the satisfaction of ranking up.
