[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6959204, member: 6775031"] It's not a matter of [I]liking[/I] something or not. There are plenty of things that I don't like which still actually [I]make sense[/I] within the game world. (You could play Highlander-style, where you need to decapitate foes in order to recover your powers, and that would still [I]make sense[/I] for how the world works.) A variable recharge rate isn't one of those things. The variable recharge rate [I]doesn't[/I] make sense within the game world (at least, not without sufficient justification). Your proposed solution doesn't solve the problem at hand, because it goes beyond the constraints of playing an RPG, which are simply that game mechanics must reflect the in-game reality. If I ask for consensus on what kind of pet I should get (given various parameters, like how much space I have and my tolerance for shedding), and your suggestion is a new computer, then that isn't helpful to the topic at hand (no matter how well it would solve the issues of space or shedding).
