But I often find that min-maxing players have an extremely narrow focus on what constitutes fun, enjoying the game, or "winning." If a situation doesn't lend itself to the very specific talents of their character, they get quickly bored. If you don't cater to them, they're frustrated. Sometimes they're one-trick ponies - most often, really good at combat, lousy at everything else - and bring less creativity than other players to their actions. (All their creativity has gone into the min-maxing, and now the only thing to do is follow it.)This is not true of all min-maxing players. Some do a great deal of careful design work on their character, then happily and playfully take on whatever follows. But that is not, in my expereince, the typical case.The Spectrum Rider</blockquote>
