Again, your ridiculous hyperbole does you no favors.Firstly, yes, feedback is quite useful. Secondly, "DM empowerment" was never necessary, DMs are and always have been literally infinitely powerful. "Throwing it out the window" is simply recognizing that system design actually matters, rather than treating rules as mostly-useless vague suggestions.You asked me about magic item pricing. I gave you examples.Ah, yes, because saying that [rules are for those things that would really benefit from already having a clear answer] is identical to [you MUST have a perfect, inviolable formula which precisely predicts every possible result always no matter what] is totally not "dismissing and misrepresenting arguments as opposed to addressing them."Even though I very literally said that the "millimeter by millimeter trajectory" may differ significantly, but the "mile by mile trajectory" may be essentially identical and that the latter is where well-made rules live. I even explicitly said I support, for example, the areas in 13A where the system explicitly says things like, "There shouldn't be any need for an epic Linguist feat. If you really want one, you know what you want it for better than we do." That's an area that it is good, efficient, productive to not make rules, because you know whatever rules you provide will be mostly not very useful...and you call that out.But for God's sake, literally NOT GIVING prices to items? At all? How is that useful to anyone? "Common items, 101-500 gp" so...healing potions are over 100 gp each?? What?The "guidance" provided, as with most "guidance" in 5e, is barely even informational, let alone actually useful.When I am back on my PC, I will provide examples which I believe were people doing exactly that.</blockquote>
