[QUOTE="Aegeri, post: 5227944, member: 78116"] That's not really my point. I hate psionics in 4E mechanically, because they are broken and I also dislike skill challenges immensely as well (they way they are written by RAW anyway, not the actual concept). The difference is that I only bring up such dislikes in threads it is relevant in to bring them up. I do not relentlessly complain about what I dislike about X or Y in every single thread. I did write my complaints about Psionics to Wizards, in fact I actually put my complaints directly to Mike Mearls using the PM function. Being an awesome dude that he is, I even got a response from him saying that they were looking into it - and yeah they are still looking into how to correct some of the flaws with psionics (it will take a while IMO and shouldn't be an errata they just jump into quickly). I don't make a habit of relentlessly bringing up my hatred of psionics in every thread now. I've made my point, it's being looked into and I can wait or houserule it if I feel like it. I've not discouraged my players from playing psionic classes - even if I personally despise them and try to work with them. If there was a thread on this forum about psionics, I might point out my feelings about them but I'm not going to bring up that "I HATE PSIONICS" in every thread, regardless if I hate psionics or not. That's my point. To make what I'm saying clearer a better example to get my point across is that I don't like Pathfinder. Now I dislike pathfinder a lot, I don't feel it is much of an improvement on the core flaws that I didn't like about 3.5 at all to really make it something I ever want to bother with. I did try it at least and I think it was worth playing for a while, but it didn't enthuse me at all. Now, here is where I make my point: [i]Find a single post about how I dislike pathfinder from me in the official pathfinder forum* or in the pathfinder forums here on this website[/i]. In fact you'll probably find this is the very first time I've ever actually mentioned that I don't like pathfinder on this forum. That is because, what I think of pathfinder is irrelevant to 99% of topics I post in and I don't deliberately post in threads dedicated to pathfinder because, well, I don't like it. Why would I bother posting in it? Is my opinion on it important to people who play pathfinder [it's not actually]? I could tell the people who make it that it's horrible or whatever and I don't like it. But given I dislike 3.5 I don't think I was ever someone they were targeting when they made pathfinder, so I don't think they are going to be bothered they never sold me on their variant of a system I don't like. That's really my point. It's not expressing a negative opinion, it's being relentless about it and effectively trying to troll every thread on that topic because you dislike it. There is a difference between these two things. *Considering I have no idea where that is, good luck with that. [/QUOTE]
