[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7381363, member: 23751"] Why do you act like the players only have one goal? I have yet to meet a player who did not enjoy exploring the game world and finding new things. Why not kill two birds with one stone? I guess that works for some people. Most of the ones I've games with, at least after exiting high school, don't want things just handed to them like that. I'm not trying to disparage your players. I just honestly cannot remember encountering a player who wanted stuff handed to him like that after leaving high school. This is treading very close to being a False Dichotomy. There are whole ranges of things that can be done in-between adjudicating every moment of a PCs' life as a round of combat and cutting immediately to the action. Many people enjoy a bit more realism in their games than just jumping from one significant thing to the next, and it feeds their desire to explore and see new things that I mentioned. Another thing to consider is that the little things highlight the important ones. If everything you get is fabulous, then really nothing you receive is fabulous. Fabulous has become the new average and a new fabulous thing doesn't mean a lot. However, if you have a bunch of little things and get something fabulous, it really IS fabulous. It shines next to the little things that put it in perspective. [/QUOTE]
