People have different takes on how to balance these two concerns against each other during game-play, and it can cause friction between players.I've seen plenty of these situations become emotionally charged (usually just from discussing them hypothetically) because people tend to view these disagreements as commenting on their personal value system rather than as a difference in play-styles.</blockquote>
