[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 2925525, member: 198"] And some of us strongly disagree. Personally, I not only consider this concern an example of unnecessary elitism ("it's like a video game!" being one of the sillier complaints that gets trotted out on these boards), but I think that getting over-excited about a couple of elements in the game and extrapolating dire possibilities for the evolution of the game is an unfounded and knee-jerk reaction. The evolution of the game will always include some things that each of us doesn't care for, simply because our tastes differ. One of the great strengths of D&D is that one can play it many different ways, and one can use what one wants and discard what one doesn't without any real trouble. [/QUOTE]
