Yeah well in your universe I'm sure there are people who play their
characters based on motivation and role-playing concepts. However, in the
world I live in there are pathetic excuses for people trying to compensate
for poor real lives by building power characters that have no regard to
concept and are just one rule loop hole after another. So don't lecture me
about balancing characters a little bit to keep the game rolling (as these
people are always a disruptive element in the game). I hope you never have
the misfortune to run into one of these fraggers.
