D&D 5E Does anyone else feel like the action economy and the way actions work in general in 5e both just suck?

I made a general statement. Base on common knowledge of the GM to player ratio in the rpg hobby. Which holds true for the majority of the hobby.

The interjections of exceptions do not disprove or render false my general statement.

Its seems some people here are incapable of talking in generalities.

please don't assume what we are capable or not to understand or talk in some manner.

We understand how talking uin generalities work. You just can't use a generality to disagree with someone, without putting forth any evidence of your argument being true, and then blatantly disregard any argument against your generalization because "the dictionary says it". Generalities assuming there are always exceptions doesn't make your argument more valid. Proof does.

...3rd person: Not everyone here lives in a 1st world country. ...

So you have Zero spare time?

You ability to reply to my posts shows otherwise.

I did not say it would be easy. You have to put in the work to find like minded people.

...
1st person: I cannot be bothered to consider exeptions to my statemens, because I looked in to the dictionary and that gives my arguments a pass for being imprecise.

Your are the one who said I made a general assumption.

I agreed with you.

It's not my fault the Dictionary does nothing to support your exception based arguments.

You are the ones disagreeing with me.

By objecting with your individual exceptions to my general statement.

Exceptions which by definition do not render a general statement false.

Me having spare time does not disproove the fact that work is more precarious in some countries, and yes, a lot of possible DMs in Brazil (using my country as an example) don't have the spare time to have a group. I an, luckly, an exception in this case, having my oun business and being able to create spare time for myself.

Jaegar, I think you're getting a lot of pushback here, because your statement bears a certain resemblance to "There's plenty of jobs out there you just need to look". In other words, while you may not have meant it that way, it comes across as perhaps implying that any GM who cannot find a group is either too lazy to look or is just not a good GM.

So possible DM's in Brazil are an exception to DM's as a whole.

My statement still holds true for the hobby as a whole.

Can you show evidence of that?

I never said it was easy.

My rule in general on forums is to assume mosts posts are talking in general terms. I try to not read in to what people might be implying because written fora are an imperfect from of communication.

Instead I try and understand the general point that they are trying to make.

Everything can be nitpicked to death if you really want to do it.

I'm not saying you are necessarily in the wrong (Tbh I don't care either way). Just that this is why I think you are getting so much pushback.

The whole reason people are arguing with you is because you're defining a general idea that we intuitively know is likely the case in terms that others object to. That is the sum of why people are objecting to your post.
