Sounds familiar... our party decker ran into the same problem. First of
all his GM complained that he was making the decker to combat-ish (to
which everyone jumped in and pointed out that if the decker never got to
do any decking at least he oughta have some other fun). Decker said no,
no, that's fine, and started putting all his Karma etc into decking
stuff... oh dear. Next thing the poor GM knows, said decker is waltzing
through 5 Red-14 systems in a row.

Guess you can't have your cake and eat it too...

(Mind you, part of the problem was that the GM was used to the old
decking rules and we were using VR2.0. Said GM was unimpressed that
decker could crap all over black IC and refused to believe that black IC
is *not* the threat to worry about for the big deckers any more - that's
reserved for other deckers, SKs and party IC. So, of course, GM thought
decker was just rules-raping...)
