Perhaps you should examine your own insecurities, as many of us don't get into the habit of stereotyping every combat-oriented mud as being populated by "dumb kids without an ounce of intelligence or creativity".

Good. Your arguments were embarrassingly poor for somoene supposedly representing the intelligentsia.

If you think that combat consists of nothing more than typing 'kill' then you've obviously been playing muds with extremely poorly designed combat systems. It would be comparible with someone saying that roleplaying muds consist of nothing more than emoting mudsex - some muds are indeed like that, but any serious roleplayer would laugh at the idea that such a mud represented all roleplaying muds.

Hey now you just hold on thar, Baba-Blooey! Everyone knows that mudsex is essential to every quality RP mud. How else do you think we all get the power-up? Hrrmph!
