[QUOTE="jgbrowning, post: 322347, member: 5724"] [b]well...[/b] what the subject of the thread was about was not people having eq that was not supposed to be available at their level, it was about people min/maxing what is supposed to be available at their level to basically increase the, to use anothers term, "phatnes" of their characters. first of all its my opinion gathered from only my set of experiences... thats why i asked other people what their experiences are so that i can, de facto, broaden my experience so that i can make another opinion. theorys aren't provable by the way you know.... secondly, how many times must it be said, that just because one person is a powergamer and is 30 and another is a "role" gamer and is 17, doesnt have much bearing on wheather or not, in general, there can be decernable and measureable differences between the gaming styles of differtly aged persons as a whole. Can i prove this? no. i dont have the money nor the time. thirdly, if you think people are not influenced by the environment they are in, well.. i can't really help you there. i guess one word sums it up. Culture. Also just because you're part of particular culture does not mean you share all traits with everyone else and i guess you can see how this ties in to my second point. All this entire thread is about peoples opinions. I wanted to hear what others thought, and i have, including those who disagree with me. I listen and pick and choose to modify, or not, my opinions based upon theirs, but thats another post. joe b. [/QUOTE]
