I know I straight up refuse to play pathfinder because until this thread I've never seen anyone ever recommend Pathfinder without actively shitting on dnd. If I did then maybe I'd have tried it some point in the past few years. Taken up the many offers to play in a pathfinder game. But I hard refuse everytime. If they just said how pathfinder does stuff better, that'd be fine. But it always devolves into what dnd does worse and the endless nitpicking and complaints. No longer is pathfinder the focus. The focus becomes bitching about everyone under the sun that dnd does to the point pathfinder doesn't even get mentioned anymore. It's not what it does better. Every convo I've seen isn't about how good pathfinder is but how bad dnd is and that level of negativity being focused on constantly just to recommend you play their game instead has always made my skin crawl. Should stand on its merits, not its competitions failures. If you can't do that then I'm not sure what the point of it is other than "HAHA DND GET FUCKED"
