No one is saying you have to play this way. It is an issue if the rest of the players don't want to stop just because the wizard went nova. I have never once had to suboridante my campaign needs to handle the nova problem and I have never once had a conversation with DMs I know that have had a campaign issue with handling nova by lighting a fire under the PCs rumps and getting them moving instead of resting after every freaking encounter. In your opinion is not as good a s mechanical solution others feel differently.It solved the game balance issue and made the game unplayable for a lot of us. Maybe because we would rather have more control over how to balance our game than have rigid rules that make bland characters. You also take away the chance for any creativity and thinking outside the box because you have the same abilities every encounter. I have noticed that in games that have this kind of rule set players figure out the most effective way to handle any issue and always do it. After awhile it becomes tedious and stale.   One of the guys I played Shadowrun with loved 4E when it came out he said he would never go back to 3.5 several months ago he went to Pathfinder because while he still thinks 4E does a certain play styles really well and is much easier to DM at high levels.  He and the rest of his group had gotten bored with it. Even the game designers have said that one of its issues is that it basically says this is the way you play DnD and any other way was wrong.</blockquote>
