[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8827835, member: 67338"] no both seem active... you use the information. lets go a step further... card games. YUGIOH. me and my friends played MTG back in the day then oneday someone found the Yugioh anime and we all laughed at MTG to save the world... but we were almost all out of MTG by then... about a year after we started watching the anime the card game came out and we bought into them (about 8 of us if I remember) and we played for fun and did the dramatic "You triggered my trap card" type lines as jokes... One day one player went online and found there was this super stratagy and this super cool deck that won alot... so he went and spent a lot of money building it. Then he got mad cause we didn't want to play him. See to us this was a fun little pass time and a little money sink, to HIM this was a strategy to find the best at... and once he found the best he won, so we said "Okay we will play without you then" At the time I was making better money then I am now (it's also when I bought my house without a second thought) so I could have gone online found a killer deck and sunk $300 into making it... or I could buy a pack every few weeks make funny decks with my friends and not care about the meta... I chose B, but that meant we did not have fun playing with someone who chose A. He wasn't cheating. He played the game by the rules, BUT he chose to find the best most optimal way to do so and no longer was it fun for us. now back to D&D. if you metagame you are not playing something I would find fun.
