I know, and it seems to happen often in these forums. It's preferred playstyle (from a different game) that bleeds into the D&D discussions. We know how the game is played; the dozens of convention games, streams, and store play give infinite examples.We are in a thread where a poster literally gave an example and declared that the player just made it up earlier. It feels like the people trying to hang you on some middle ground are looking for anything but middle ground.
But some simply don't want to adhere to this. They have played something else, and they want it to be a part of their D&D game. I get it. When Magic the Gathering first came out, I set up the next two D&D modules to incorporate Magic's rules as well. I really wanted to combine the two. Then I realized they are two different games, and that I was playing a "not-so-good" version of both.
Maybe, in their experience, their integration works better. I don't believe it does, simply because every game I have watched live, played at, or seen on the internet doesn't work that way. But, I lived in my MtG bliss for a while, so hopefully they can do the same.
