[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 9678673, member: 1008"] I understand your example, but I am unclear what point you are trying to make with it. I keep saying that [I]some people[/I] don't like the way certain mechanics make them feel about the way the game world works. I also keep saying that I understand that [I]plenty of people don't have that problem[/I] with those mechanics, and if it works for them, that's great. At least three different people have responded with what seem like attempts to prove that the people who enjoy the mechanic are correct for liking it. I have never suggested that it's not OK to like the mechanic, nor is it necessary to prove that it works for them. This all being the case, and the fact that these comments seem to be phrased as rebuttals, makes it feel as if they're an attempt to suggest people who don't like the mechanic are wrong for not liking it.
