[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8149902, member: 6802951"] I know it [I]probably [/I]didn't happen like this, but I am now imagining the 'termination interview', where you explained to your friends that you weren't going to play D&D with them anymore due to their "insufficiently excellent provision of gaming experience" and that you were replacing them with a more rigorously-selected group of D&D-exclusive friends. Most definitely. However, an awful lot of that boils down to experience. Outside of the rather rare "that guy" who remains consistently awful no matter how much you talk to them, most people get better at being better at D&D by learning alongside people who are good at it. And, to put it bluntly, if you deny new players the opportunity to improve themselves, you don't really get to complain about the state of the modern playerbase. ;) [/QUOTE]
