What The $%#* Happened?

[--Pete]

Hi,

Why do you make a class variant that can't play some parts of the game? You call it maximizing, I call it shooting one self in the foot.:P

That brings up some deep questions. Should a game force a player to minimax to be able to play through? Should the understanding and exploitation of the rules be more important than the actual playing skills? Should gear and build be the only important factors?

I don't think these questions have 'right' answers, but rather they are indicators of the type of game that appeals to each individual. Personally, I feel that there should be vast room for skill to make up for gear and build, but then, I'm variant scum at heart.;)
