[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9106527, member: 7025282"] It’s not clear to me that there are many universal issues at all; rather people have preferences for the sort of game they want. There are many different preferences. The broken game some see does not take them to the gaming promise land they want to land in. What is amazing is how it is the seven heavens or Arcadia looks like the 9 hells or the abyss to someone else. There is no objectively big issue in this fantasy game. We have a vote—-and a certain percentage of gamers agree with us. Some don’t. As one example, some folks really want “balance” and it is really important to them. I have played asymmetrical wargames (and gasp! Rogues in 1e!)! It’s not that big of a deal to me. We have been playing 5e since 5e came out. I only know we have had a lot of fun and balance has not been a big part of between game discussion. That does not mean there cannot be improvement or that I am against it but the language of “true issue” is missing important text. “For you.” There is not and will not be unanimity on this stuff. All you can do is take a poll and get a non representative sample and make a statement about that particular sample. But it is interesting to see what is a hot button issue for other players/groups… I just can’t believe anyone would be surprised at disagreement! Like wtf? 😂 [/QUOTE]
