I tune in to ENWorld for some great threads, but I have to dig carefully past a whole lot of rules discussions to get to things I can actually use (since I don't run my games with D20).I think one of the reasons that rules elements are discussed so heavily here is that they're a kind of shared experience. Someone can raise a rules-related question, and there's lots of people here with experience on the topic. A lot more people have opinions about the relative power level of different classes than have opinions about something non-rules related in your game.I do wish there was more discussion about the human factors involved in roleplaying -- especially because so many threads about dysfunctional people issues in games talk about the issue in rules terms, when I don't think that gets to the heart of the matter. But I think it's wonderful that people can get together online and geek out about rules issues -- it's very entertaining for those who enjoy it. Just not my cup of tea, is all.I'm not sure why someone would think the question constitutes trolling, though. If you're comfortable with detailed rules, and enjoy discussing them, why would someone mentioning the fact that you do that be considered insulting?</blockquote>
