It seems to me that you don't hate moderators, you hate that they are necessary nowadays. If so, i'm right there with ya. The web used to be a much more magical place

I consider this a good vs bad DM issue, not necessarily a game system issue. A good DM will offer XP for non-combat situations too even if it's not in a handbook. I guess I might have a different view on D&D vs other gaming systems because my group started with AD&D and just changed all the shit we didn't like. It was only D&D by name after a while. We had a mana system (spell mats are the worst), custom classes / races / spells, and a lot of fun. The most important part isn't the game system, it's good people to play with.

I'm currently reading Black Ocean: Mirth & Mayhem and this meme nailed it

I listened to whatever that is for a full minute and it was literally a long screeching note the whole time... Wtf is it supposed to be? Music?

This sums up my thoughts on human behavior quite nicely. I really want to believe "true communism" is possible but I just don't see how when power-hungry assholes exist. My thoughts are that it can only happen at small scales where you know everyone in your "tribe". It's far easier to oppress nameless strangers than it is to oppress Jenny with a heart condition a sick kid.

I'd be very interested in an honest answer about how this is handled from someone with more knowledge on communism.

Quite Rikke-esque

Imagine working in an office where you need to do that? Who says to themselves, "gee, i didn't bring that thing so it must be OK for me to have some"? These kinds of tactics don't come from nowhere

In not a huge fan of autopilot, especially in cities. But, i see human drivers pulling way worse shit than this.
