If the players are looting every single item off the enemies to sell so they can buy a high plus sword or a make an awsomely powerful staff, then high magic is boring IMO. I have played games where the players care very little about the story and are more concerned about the acquisition of items. I can't stand this kind of game. I can't run games like this, they don't entertain me. I look at a D&D game as mutual entertainment. As a DM, I certainly don't want to run a game with players that make the experience grueling and boring for me. I wouldn't expect them to play in a game that was grueling and boring to them.Basically, I feel High Magic can be fun if it is run within the confines of a reasonable story. High magic campaigns run as if the DM and players are playing a video game is definitely not my cup of tea. I won't play in or run such campaigns. I play this game to be part of a story, not to accumulate items like some medieval yuppy in fantasy world.</blockquote>
