#74016, "Power gaming - what is it, actually?"
|
In some death threads I've seen compaints about some "power gaming" and that it, somehow, makes the game "bad". But what is it?
Is it about the equipment? But CF always been about the eq. If you don't gear up well, you'll be a punching bag. It was since I began playing 20 years ago, and actually it's fun. To gear up, you'll need a lot of tmie, and you may lose it all in a moment. Is it bad? Why?
Or is it about dex warriors? Elf staff paladins that can retrieve solo on 17th level? But some fire giant sword spec with an iron flurry may one-round an elf. Or storm giant may one-flurry drow war master.
Or is it gaming just for PK, with zero RP?
So... what exactly it is, powergaming? Why it's bad? I don't understand compaints. Maybe I'm a poweregamer and I am "bad"?
