[QUOTE="Libramarian, post: 6232730, member: 6688858"] I think his comment there unpacks like this: He's talking about what they're thinking of doing to penalize firing at range into a melee. They strongly prioritize simplicity and ease of use. So he says: "Right now if your allies are in the way they can provide cover to the monster. We think that's a sufficient penalty." Then he imagines someone saying: "But that's not much of a penalty. I could just move over here so the monster is between me and my ally." Then he says: "Yeah but I like it when there is an opportunity to circumvent a penalty with smart tactical play. So I don't mind that." Definitely not getting a paternalistic or insulting tone form it, but I think it implies that RT is more tolerant of metagame praise for smart (if basic) tactical play than you are. You seem to think that only creative role-playing is worthy of metagame praise. So you might reasonably be slightly disappointed by his attitude there. [/QUOTE]
