Well, there have been a lot of claims that unless you run a kitchen sink campaign or give players carte blanche to do world building that the game will be automatically boring.
You have no clue if my campaign is boring. My players certainly don't think so. It may not be the campaign for you, but yes I get tired of baseless accusations. Want to do kitchen sink? Go for it if you have fun. Tell me my campaign is crap or that my player's PCs are cardboard cutouts because I don't run it exactly like you do? Yeah, you're going to get pushback.
There is no one true way to run games. Every DM, every group, needs to develop a style that works for them.
No one is calling your game at your table boring.
I thought the whole point of this thread is that different people like different things?
If Suzie likes X and Y and your game lacks Candy Y, it will be boring to Suzie. No need to pushback against that statement.
