[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8822673, member: 6801228"] This would be great, but that isn't what has happened. Instead of "I've changed halflings like this, we could apply this more widely" it is one of the following 1) I changed halflings like this, so there is no problem because I have no problem. 2) I changed halflings, you are either too lazy or too stupid to change them yourself, so you should be better instead of asking to be spoon-fed everything. Stance #1 is very much a "I don't have this problem, because I did something to fix the problem for me and me alone, therefore the problem doesn't exist". Like we said, fixing something for your home doesn't fix it for the community. If people would present their homebrew as possible fixes and still be willing to discuss, it would be different. But invariably it is "there is no problem because I fixed it for me". Stance #2 is just insulting the other person. And is stubbornly persistent in these discussions about what kinds of community wide changes could be implemented. Oh, and we can get the "why do you hate my fun" argument in here as well, because while it isn't about having fixed the issue for them, it is a depiction of things as a zero-sum and therefor efforts to change things are only designed to attack other people's enjoyment because we are tyrants. Mostly an unrelated point, but it does slot in there. [/QUOTE]
