[QUOTE="Bumbles, post: 4855387, member: 83457"] Or there might not, if you're simply ignoring or not experiencing such behavior even though it happens. It might be easier to point out if I were somehow able to stand over you and watch everything you've done, and show you the examples, but as I said before, that's simply not feasible. All I can suggest if you try looking around a bit. I *know* that I *cannot* make you perceive something if you don't see it for yourself. "with this, therefore because of this" To put it another way, correlation does not imply (let alone prove) causation. Just because you only see it happening with the Realms doesn't mean it's happening because of the Realms. I think it just happens because some people like consistency, and the more sources you have the more consistency you can have. As such, I believe the first issue is to learn to deal with those concerns from the person, as it can and does pop up in unexpected ways. I can't help you with that then, as I can't do anything when your perceptions are tainted by your emotions. It wasn't about MMO humor though. It was about people's expectations of acceptable behavior. Well, you could have said this earlier. Might have helped spare us some of the discussion. ;) Me, believe it or not, I'm not saying that there's nothing involving the Realms that serves to provide issues, I just don't see it as an issue unique to the Realms, but really applicable to any gaming. You could forget, be wrong, or be mistaken about anything in the game, or make a change that's not acceptable to a player at any time. About all you can say about the Realms is that it has a lot to go through. Which may lead to some people being more understanding, not less. I know I've had a problem with a GM changing something in a corebook. Not a supplement, but a corebook. It wasn't even a D&D game. It made me walk. Sometimes it happens. A minimum of books won't stop it. [/QUOTE]
