    Yeah. I’ve seen some players’ ideas. Players are, on average, idiots.

    I’m reminded of when players want to add critical miss effects to DND. “I added critical misses to my DND game! On a natural one really bad things happen! Like you drop your sword!” -> “But fighters make way more attacks, right?” -> “yeah” -> “so they’re going to critically miss a lot more” -> “…yeah” -> “so a fighter making four attacks a round has a 18% chance of dropping their sword every round” -> “…what?”

      This seems to complete dismiss the existence of mods which for pc gamers some find hard to go back to the vanilla version.

      Which overturns the idea with it not being concepts but actual ideas to solutions put out by people who weren’t part of development.

        I’m sorry, what? This reads like it went through a machine translation.

        Are you trying to say that mods are good, and thus players have good ideas?

        If so, I’d respond with a reference to sturgeon’s law. Many players are idiots. There’s a small minority that have good ideas. So my original claim that players are, on average, idiots, would hold up.

          It seems you are insulted at the general idea of having suggestions given, and fall to subjective claims for your argument and throw in insults like saying I sound machine translated.

          Doesn’t seem like you ever wanted a discussion in the first place but to vent.
