[QUOTE="Sphyre, post: 4069485, member: 55424"] I actually was asking about those who actually [i]like[/i] the game: It's obviously a poor investment for anyone who doesn't play it much, or doesn't care to play it much. I play it once a week though. How is asking a question a pet peeve? I didn't start claiming that it [i]wasn't[/i] a high investment. You may have a pet peeve against that, but I can't really say there's much validity in having a pet peeve against people who try to come to an understanding. Then again... pet peeves are actually stronger reactions to things that don't merit them... Well good luck with dealing with your pet peeve. I want to know why there are so many people who think that it's a really high investment. I've been thinking about it, and it seems to come down to the point where they are more casual passer-by players than me, where I have a group that will set one evening aside a week to play D&D, as opposed to people who may play for a few months, stop and come back years later, and they don't actually play D&D as much as they take part in other hobbies. Although, does this "high investment" mentality still apply, when you spend an equal amount time playing D&D as your other hobbies? Enjoyment time playing D&D vs Enjoyment time playing another game, the dollar per hour is significantly less, with only a few hobbies turning out to be less. [/QUOTE]
