as usual, one moron spouts some crap with complete confidence and the spineless betas here suck up his saliva and turn it into a meme.

I'm not butthurt about looking up a rule.
I'm butthurt about those "roll 1" memes that have people performing skill checks that have CUH-RA-ZEE results when someone rolls a 1, like massaging an orc.

When it's pretty clear that you can't fumble a skill check, only fail.

Y'know those stories are just made up bullshit for the (You)s right? No one actually plays like that. R-Right?

Ignore bait

Looking up rules is fine. Having to reference the book every time an action is taken because of a million different subsystems each with their own set of special rules and modifiers sucks. Not to mention odd spot rules that are snuck into what would normally be standard rulings that become incredibly easy to forget.
It also sucks when the special rules that are there are hidden in pages of unintuitive editing and general writing bullshit.

Refrencing can actually be fun when it is comes up sparingly. I remember playing Battletech in highschool and every time we needed to go back to the Death-From-Above rules it felt fucking great. But if we had to do that every turn or second turn it would have bogged down the game. I think the same goes for RPGs.
I want action to be resolved accurately and in a timely fashion so the game can progress. This can be done with complex rules but if they aren't built on a solid core or lack proper formatting the group will have to choose between speed or accuracy. I don't think ether is a good trade.

The DM isn't the only one at the table. A game is made fun by the whole group and each individual's contribution to the action. A slow game usually means the DM has to take even more control (since the average exchange is P1>DM>P2>DM>ect...) So if the DM isn't particularly strong it means the players have fewer opportunities to improve the game themselves.

Literally evey player I have played woth does that.
Most don't have wacky results though it's typically something like falling or dropping your weapon.
I honestly don't know why that idea triggers you autists so much.

Fair enough.

OP here, you are correct. The problem is people who make ultra-light games and insist on GM fiat being the best thing ever because if someone ever has to look at a rulebook ever during a game, they are clearly autistic munchkins. Fuck those people.
