Rarely, this can be a power issue, usually that a certain build is just too powerful. As a DM, it is much easier to help a weak character than it is to rein in a powerful one.The other category of problem characters are those that are too egotistical. The player makes a flippant decision and makes a kobold or goblin character, traditionally evil races that are pretty universally considered evil in a typical human-dominated DnD setting. As long as they are willing to accept the social effects of this its just annoying, but if they want to be treated like everyone else, it harms the verisimilitude of the setting. I agree that discrimination is a bad thing RL, but the game world is not RL.</blockquote>
