[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9018725, member: 7006"] DING DING DING DING! This is exactly it right here. It is entirely possible to ask for suggestions/help or just wish to vent about (general) your situation [I]without[/I] simultaneously trying to shift the blame for your problems onto the game itself or the designers. If the game doesn't work for (general) you... that's not the game's fault. You just don't prefer playing RPGs in the manner for which 5E is set up. Now if (general) you have an issue, people tend to happily lend a sympathetic ear here on the boards... [I]right up[/I] until the point (general) you are insulting to the people involved with the game-- at which point all bets are off. So you better be prepared to accept the blowback for (general) your insulting comments. If you're good with that-- if you consider it an even exchange that (general) you get to complain that the game sucks and the designers are lazy and stupid, and that other posters also get to come here to say you're full of crap-- then that's great! You can take your blows while dishing them out. That's one of the fun aspects of the boards! But don't EVER think (general) you can rail against this game here free of charge. Or get offended that other people might possibly disagree with you. That's not gonna happen. [/QUOTE]
