D&D General Define Problem

[dave2008]

Hmmmm… Can something be a problem in general without being a problem for you specifically?

Yes
For example these have never been a problem for me, but are generally problems for others:
5MWD
quadratic casters vs linear fighters

A lot of the definitions here are unclear; ask 10 posters here as to what "unbalanced" means in relation to an RPG (or even specifically 5e D&D) and you're going to get 11 different answers.

That's a problem.

The point of this thread is the definition of problem. I fully believe everyone is capable of answer the question with respect to what balance or any other word means personally for them.

I’m afraid I don’t understand the question. Are we talking about “problem” like “so-and-so is a problem player?”

Pretty much unfun & unplayable. After that comes too complex (this usually leads directly to the first two)
Possibly too simple as well.

In the normal world, but in this one, it's usually someone whining because they aren't the OP character their ego demands them to be. Lol

You have the strangest view about why people critique things EVER. I'd say less than 1% of the D&D community is whining because their character isn't the OP.

Not the thought I had when posting but if it fits then that too!

But, like, that too in addition to what? I’m not understanding what element of the game I’m being asked about whether it is a problem or not.

Any really - but if you want me to pick one for you then answer about mechanics.

This is just too vague for me to be able to answer, sorry.

I don't know what's so confusing about it. sorry.
