[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 722349, member: 8704"] It sounds more like a problem of what your characters expect than what is in the rules. If they get mad because a CR is over their party level or they expect to level up every session then it's about what they expect not what is. As DM they get what you give them, it's sort of the reason why the DM exist, if not they could just play Neverwinter Nights and let the computer DM. It's funny but I have none of those probles with the game I am running right now. I don't care for the prevailance of magic items but we had the same problem when we played 2ed and 1ed, we always had too much crap. I control the magic items pretty well now, we also play a style where there might only be one combat in a whole module, so it is a big one. It's all a matter of the style you play, don't let them hit you with a bunch of rule book stuff, play the game to make it fun, the DM decides what the encounters are and how much treasure you get not the rule books.
