Is the game broken depending on the way you play/view it?

[QUOTE="Dice4Hire, post: 5710512, member: 55066"] Disillusioned? I read your post and I am not sure what you mean by this, but is sounds negative. But to ignore the poll options and answer, I think in most cases games can be played quite well, unless someone inteh group (or the whole group) tries to break them. I will use 4E as an example as 3.5 has no official eratta. In 4E, WOTC has made tons of changes. Page after page after page of them, and for me and my group, the vast majority are inconsequential. Sure, some are needed (like the battlerager fighter, which a friend will play soon), but the vast majority are only 'broken' if players do ridiculous combinations of races or classes, or build to abuse a single part of the game. Unless you play with people like that, then 98% of the 4E changes were not needed, and can be ignored. In my opinion most games are reasonable well balanced, unless the group or player tries deliberately to break them. If you play nice, then there is little need to errata the game. The Lair assault thread over in the 4E forum has a lot of examples of people doing the weirdest builds and party structures just to try to beat the challenge. It is one playstyle for sure, but I would argue it is out onteh bleeding edge. [/QUOTE]
