[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5701169, member: 82106"] Funny, I'd have thought business sense had a heck of a lot more to do with giving your customers what they want so they want to pay for it. Last I checked all the 'irrational people' had money that was the same color as yours. Funny thing about that too, all those people, they're the ones that are still playing after 30-some years. Us older people also have money to spend on things, unlike all you young sprouts that owe 100k in student loans ;) Nor, I hate to break it to you, are most of us anywhere even close to croaking. Nor do we give a fig about those who want to mutate our game into something else. Come up with your game, and get off my lawn you punk! ;) More seriously, it may be irrational, but you'll find you're going to become just as irrationally attached to the things you like. Since ability scores are so trivial that they can be eliminated they're trivial enough not to worry about, eh? Is it even worth as much effort as it has taken us to post back and forth a couple times? I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
