Show me exactly how I have imposed my will on anyone? I may have obviously implied that through your posting have shown me you aren't very intelligent. However, I did back up my claims. Something that you have not done, and since you cannot understand me or back up your claims, you are left with getting butthurt and telling me I'm stupid. Trust me, what you say cannot offend me.
Let me explain something about an opinion. When you think of something, and consider it for yourself, that is an opinion. Once you bring it out to the light of day and share it with others, you are making a claim. An argument arises when two people have differing claims. Two people can have different opinions, but if neither claims it in public or to others, or if one claims something and then the other doesn't really care here, then an argument will not occur. In an argument, when trying to prove your point, the idea is to propose ideas that have 2 things. The first part of proposing in an argument is premises. Premises when applied allow you to reach a conclusion. Usually the conclusion is your original idea, so the way you discuss things with people like an intelligent human being is to find premises to support your idea. If your premises are true, and the logic follows through to a logical conclusion for that train of thought, then the argument is both valid, and sound. Now we are dealing more with inductive arguments here, so... this means we are dealing with probability. This means even I am not arguing for certainty, but am I using logical thought and a proper method of supporting my ideas so I am arguing for what is probable. I am saying this method is most likely the better one for making an engaging and balanced game.
You are also claiming your idea is better, but basically ignoring every argument I make and just saying "well its just my opinion." But it isnt your opinion, you are on an open forum on the internet making that opinion public, claiming its truth to people who will likely disagree, and then getting mad that I mock you for not making the first valid argument to support yourself.
Actually, to be accurate here, D&D does have classes and roles. It is nothing like you claim about not being forced into roles. The game is also moderated by a real person who can use reason to make decisions, versus a game that relies on what can sensibly be programmed into it. There is little comparison between any pen and paper role playing game, and a massive multiplayer online adventure game. However, we cannot judge the quality of D&D campaigns we have played because that is based on an individual GM and how they run that campaign. But I digress since mentioning D&D at all was me being sarcastic. It has little to do with the actual discussion at hand and shows your lack of comprehension of obvious sarcasm.
Ironically, I have been nothing but logical and rational in this discussion. Being rude does not equal being illogical, irrational, or inane. Also being rude does not equal me forcing anything on anyone. It is simply honest contempt for someone foolish ranting endlessly with no valid point.
