And that's largely because the game is scaled such that it's built to be played at epic tier, rather than epic tier being an obligatory thing you put into the game at the end because only a small group of players use it but everyone expects to see it - like encumbrance rules.As far as official D&Ds go, 3e is I agree the worst, with 4e better and 5e in between.  The only branded D&D edition I've run where high level play doesn't become that is BECMI - though that's mostly due to reduced character options and more dependence on magic items for abilities to keep track of.</blockquote>
