The system advises that it is wise to choose what to allow in your game. Your arguments only work if you completely disregard this.No, but you may be. Here's why;Why not? There was a point in bring it up, after all.I'll disregard this, but quote it to highlight why some people might think you have an attitude problem.I already made clear my motivations. If you read my post, you will see that I don't believe its unrelated at all. Which leaves the question. Whats your point? Whats your motivation?If you disagree with my assessment, would you rather ignore it? Understand where I'm coming from? Try to change my mind? Or use hostile, provocative and emotive language that looks like a veiled attempt to rile and insult?Why do you use so much sarcasm? Does it make your message clearer? Do you think it makes the communication better?What?Wow, I guess that's a lot of sarcasm; maybe you think that that's what I expect you to be thinking? Hmm. If it helps you to understand, I don't consider myself, or anyone else much more intelligent than any other person. If you think I have a problem with being disagreed with, well, I'll suggest that's because you've spent more energy being sarcastic and rude than trying to understand what I'm trying to communicate. Why is that?I have a different opinion than you. I'll not claim that I'm absolutely right. That IS ridiculous. The system can support many genres. I've found this, and so have others. The system advises to be careful what additional stuff you allow in your game, so it is part of the system to weigh up each new class, feat, whatever for your game. If you think it will break your game, RAW, don'tuse it. That's a part of the system many people seem to disregard.I understand the arguments against this, but I don't think that they are the end of the story. I don't think its that helpful to tell someone that they are "doing it wrong" as if it were, to use your language "the one way", "your build is weak, anyone with any intelligence will build like this because it is stupid to do otherwise, and against the system." My use of the words "pissing contest' is too antagonistic, I absolutely agree. But what I intend to articulate is an annoyance at this attitude. "they, and you are wrong". "I can make a better build that will do more damage, so you are wrong", "sorry, but your build, philosophy and way of playing are not only stupid but incorrect by the system" "barage of sarcastic, passive aggresive comments". Maybe not pissing contest, I guess people can substitute words for themselves that reflect the attitude behind these statements.</blockquote>
