[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7975536, member: 16814"] Well, yes. You started at bad default settings and unituitive interfaces, which I tried to help with, then shifted to something being an overly controlling GM style you dislike (never did establish what exactly that was), which I tried to help with, and then shifted back to uninituitive. You've never really engaged my responses, just shifted your point of attack to maintain a gripe that it's too fiddly and has an intended style of play enforced by some nefarious default. It is fiddly, cause options, but you can globally set your preferwnces to reduce your fiddle level. Is that in neon flashing lights? No, but it is in the attached wiki and the tutorial videos. Not sure what level of "guessed what you wanted before you showed up" you want, here. The second is even easier: options start turned off. No nefarious intent, no default enforced playstyle (although I'm really unsure how a GMing style is forced by not being able to hang nanes on tokens -- do you have nametags on your minis at the table?) Well, I provided direct responses, which were met by different objections like "default playstyle" and "controlling GMs". It seems your objections are slightly more broadly based than "unintuitive." But, that's okay. I stopped trying to help you and started answering in case anyone else had a similar problem and was looking for some help. I'm fine if you dislike Roll20 or imagine it's set up on a way to push you to GM in a way ypu don't like because options default to off. I don't own stock. I'd be happy for you if, tomorrow, you announced that Fantasy Grounds does everything you want and is super intuitive. Or Astral, or whatever. No one should have to deal with a hobby tool that causes undue frustration or paranoid ideation. [/QUOTE]
