[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7445041, member: 15700"] Ok, I didn’t even finish reading your post. You need to seriously check yourself. First, I didn’t pretend anything. I directly pointed out how you disagreed with what I said. When I said that true balance is unattainable because it means different things to different people who play the game differently, and you say you disagree, then me saying “you disagree with this” isn’t pretending you did something you didn’t do. It’s literally pointing out what you just did. Secondly, don’t accuse others of making strawman and then immediately make one yourself. I never said people ignore the rules. I said people place emphasis on the various pillars differently. Which they do. Which makes a WORLD of difference on how the game balances out as I went into detail to explain why. So unless you can point me to the rule that states everyone MUST spend X% of their game time in combat, and X% on interaction, and X% on exploration, and every combat must be equally distributed between range and melee with the exact same number of rounds against the same number and type of opponents, then no. People are not ignoring rules to place emphasis on one pillar over another. Then I stopped reading your post because you seem equal parts intellectually dishonest and unnessarily hostile by coming right of the gate with your first post calling my OP dumb. So good day to you.
