In general the people that have said that to me don't spend much, if any, time outside of game sessions thinking about the game. For these folks, the number of rules and options related to spellcasting requires more work outside of the game session than they want to commit. They get their enjoyment from the game by playing by showing up, socializing and dealing with whatever happens during the game. And there is nothing wrong with that.  Personally, I love to play a spellcaster because of the vast array of options. To the point that I will be playing a character in an upcomming campaign that eschews all evocation and conjuration spells. The challenge of picking the a good set of spells and surviving without magic missle and fireball will be a huge part of the fun of the game.  Even so, one thing I've noticed is that 3.0/3.5 has introduced more rules than even I care to master. I just don't feel like spending the time learning the intracicies of AoO or concelement or invisibile opponents. I'm getting old and my mind doesn't have room for all that any more.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
