[QUOTE="Herschel, post: 5531804, member: 78357"] 1. I'm amazed at how many gamers are so eager to feel they're smarter than the designers. Sure, nothing is ever perfect but everything we've seen shows they had a progressive plan for game options being added. That plan isn't "written in stone" but it's been pretty well laid out from introduction to Red Box. 2. Which actually is what I said. The problem is where does each person feel grind is. Some people don't want combats over four rounds, others want numerous combats over four rounds. If the math were spectacularly screwed up, the game wouldn't work. It did and does. Some feel entitled to hit and (not be) hit at a certain clip, but that differs from person to person. The game is robust to support numerous types of gaming experiences. Did it at first? No, but it was never meant to include everything at the beginning. Remember all the hand-wringing when the Gnome, Half-Orc, Bard, etc. weren't in the PHB1? [/QUOTE]
