[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7217752, member: 15700"] Clearly either you're trolling for lulz, or you have some serious reading comprehension issues. What part of "I don't care about balance" don't you get? AEDU could be extremely balanced, or not balance at all and it wouldn't make one bit of difference because it's [i]the mechanic[/i] that I don't like. I don't like how powers and abilities are broken down like that, mostly because in the style I prefer, an "encounter" can last most of the dungeon in long strung out encounter, depending on what happens in game play (attracting nearby monsters, etc). AEDU doesn't support that style by the definition of AEDU stands for. I said it felt like a tactical boardgame to me, because it did. Both in the times I did play it, and the numerous times I watched others play it, when 95% of the game time was spent moving minis around a board in combat. [I]Nothing [/I]to do with how balanced the game is. And yet you are dead set on telling me the [I]real [/I]reason I don't like it. Knock it off. I'm telling you exactly the reasons why I don't like something, and you continue to infer I'm lying to myself and it's for other reasons. That's why I said you're being intellectually dishonest because you are. That's not an insult or a threat. An insult is you telling people who didn't like 4e that they are "balance intolerant".
