Why the assumption that epic levels are purely optional?

[QUOTE="JustaPlayer, post: 2860211, member: 17202"] Here's my take on it. Yes the epic rules are optional, but as mentioned all rules are optional. Hey, if fighters in your world have on d4s they guess what that's your call. If spells only go up to level 5, again that's your call. Everything is optional. Here's what get me ticked though. Not only are these rules presented in the DMG 3.5, but they had an entire book made just for them, and there is next to no support for them. No, instead we will make everything around CR20 and make all that other stuff we sold you useless. Why not just make them powerful unique demons but give them diffrent names. There was no reason to put them in a book and call them Orcus, Jubelix, and such the cripple those established planer powers to the point that it doesn't make sense. How can Orcus rule a bunch of roudy demons if he could barely hold his own against a balor? Treaties? If you haven't noticed, demons are both chaotic and evil. If there was anyone bound to break a treaty in the world, it these guys. [/QUOTE]
