[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6444892, member: 2011"] It's not that the "kick in the door" style requires magic item purchasing, it's that purchasing magic items is a common option in 1E, 3E, and 4E (discouraged in 2E) and lends itself well to a "kick in the door, don't worry too much about other aspects of the game (for example, maybe like politics)" style of play. I don't see why people who don't prefer a given style of play argue for pages on end as to why it is subpar. Buying magic items is a common enough theme in D&D that it should have been supported in 5E. Those who do not like it could ignore it and those who do like it could use it. The link you mention does not have to exist. It's like an all you can eat buffet. Those who like chicken and potatoes can get that. But if the fish is not even served, those who love fish and expect to find it at the buffet think that sucks. Just because you might not see a link between fish and potatoes does not mean that other people do not think that it is a great combination. [/QUOTE]
