[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6004284, member: 8835"] While some retrospection is also good whenever there's a problem, there are a few other explanations that are possible to pin soley on the players: the players are stupid. It is possible the entire group just isn't that bright. the players are conditioned. it is possible that the MMO they all play has conditioned them to think and react to situations in a common way that has dramatically altered how they approach other games or activities. A normal GM isn't a therapist, psychologist or whatever. They aren't trained to deal with these situations. It's one thing if the GM is a crap DM or there's just a style difference. But there's also the concept that D&D has some standard scenarios that normal players detect should be handled differently than others. If damaged players are unable to make the distinction, that normal players would, the problem is the player, and the DM may not be equipped to reprogram them. [/QUOTE]
