[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9378966, member: 6801228"] I think because of context. Like, anyone who is utterly mind blown at the idea that you can listen for people... I can only imagine that in the greenest of new players. And even then, only within the first few hours of their very first game. It would be like saying "and then I blew their minds by asking if I could see any guards in the market". The level of mundanity to the action would mean the players in question are literally looking for menu options on the paper in front of them. And this was presented as a difference between this old school player who is totally cool and in charge, and these new school players who don't even realize you can do something other than smash down a door. If this was a "I was experienced and these kids were in their first game" I don't think it would be objectionable. But the underlying "this is what I think new school players are like" grates.
