I don't agree exactly with him, but I do feel it is an area where the game could be improved, and discussion about it is the first step.  No one is making you read this thread or post in it - but when a player offers up comments on what they feel is an issue with the game, and your response is to say, "Sorry, the problem is with you, and we'd all prefer it if you just stop talking..." ...well, not really the most useful response to give, I think. Look, in regards to your next post, you mention compensating for the party's abilities as the DM. And that's all well in good - there is nothing wrong with that approach, and honestly, it is the mark of a good DM.  But in an ideal system, one wouldn't need to do so quite that much. And that, ultimately, is all that is being looked for - an improvement on what we have now, because we like what we currently have, but that doesn't stop us from wanting it to be better.  And the defense of, "Don't blame the system, because if you were a real DM, you'd be quiet and fix it all on your own" - that sort of dismissal always just feels hollow to me.</blockquote>
