[QUOTE="Xamnam, post: 9029405, member: 7037765"] The simplest, most broadly applicable answer is: Don't inform them what you're think they're doing wrong, tell them the areas where you are struggling, or not having fun. Especially given that people are generally good at knowing what they don't like, but not necessarily what will fix that. "You don't know how to balance encounters." is directed at the person, and sets out something as fact that can be potentially rebutted. "I haven't felt challenged by most combats." is a personal feeling, and can't really be argued as with. Done right, you can even put more objective problems in this framing, like "I feel like I can't rely on my knowledge of the rules as written to make informed choices." Obviously, there's a big difference between requested and unprompted feedback, but hopefully if they're asking, it's because they want you to be having the best time at the table possible. [/QUOTE]
