I complain when they try to pass off powergaming as the norm and ingrain
powergaming-level or powergaming beneficial rules in the base systems of a
game. Powergame all you like, but keep that crap out of the rules and don't
even think that it's the way the game was designed to be played. It is a
way that it can be played, but it wasn't meant to be.
Also, I agree that there's a difference between powergaming and munchkinism.
That's one of my favorite topics and was found in the Manifesto and I
recently posted a full definition here recently.
