[QUOTE="epithet, post: 7109466, member: 6796566"] So, you're saying that people just want the default Dying rule to be less generous and more like earlier editions? Thanks for clarifying, although I actually had already read the earlier posts wherein some people did, in fact, clearly articulate that they wanted the default Dying rule to be less generous and more like earlier editions. I surmised that this desire (for the the default Dying rule to be less generous and more like earlier editions) was motivated by something other than a deep seated mistrust of anything new, or a desperate longing for things to be like they were back when Gygax laid waste to high level parties and your knee didn't have arthritis. The thread's original post is, in fact, a proposed house rule (which is an optional rule by its very nature) which attempts to bring 5e, in this one area, more in line with an earlier edition of the game (which necessarily involves moving, at least a little bit, in the direction of a retroclone.) Given that the the "default Dying rule" for this edition will never become "less generous," it seemed worthwhile to look at the underlying reasons for people to want that, and to examine other ways to satisfy their desire. But hey, if you want to just keep on aimlessly lamenting the relentless march of years and editions, I'll get the sackcloth, ashes, and Geritol and join you in remembering the past as we tell these damn kids to stay off the lawn.
