Professional heroes can tell with a glance how well a trusted ally is doing, how their morale is holding up and how many mistakes they are making on their fighting. 4th ed characters are by-default cool like that. Getting the mechanics is a shortcut that many players take so that they don't have to decipher the gm's description of those easily observable clues.Also, the no talking unless it's your turn thing doesn't work for many people. It tends to remove people from the game when they aren't currently stabbing. Especially in a in-person game, it's rather hard to actually just have everyone not talk whilst playing, and tends to go against the social get-together idea usually present in RPing.</blockquote>
