[QUOTE="DinoInDisguise, post: 9458087, member: 7045806"] Remember that, in cases like this, everyone doesn't always mean everyone. Sometimes it means "anecdotally, people I talk to or read opinions of." And that only really extends to what a person remembers which comes with it's own issues - assuming that person is human. So there is a group of people on this forum, and some percentage of the overall community, that don't want an increase in complexity. I don't think this should be hard to comprehend when we realize that everyone doesn't actually mean everyone. And I don't think this should be unexpected given the number of threads, just this summer, that had extensive debates on rules vs rulings, and system complexity in general. As for the push back on the complexity. Options, largely, equal time and so any increase in options has to be worth their cost in time. If a person doesn't see an issue with martials in their games, that increase in time might not be worth the increase in options. I do find that the only discussions, I personally see, on this martial caster divide are on forums. I have never had a player hesitate to play a martial or complain when doing so. This is anecdotal, but it proves that everyone doesn't mean everyone. Hopefully that helps clear the confusion you are having. [/QUOTE]
