"Almost all of the players who can actually do the quests to find the storyline out are a ton of Munchkins."

Where did this come from?

Dausuul: This trope seems incredibly subjective and I suspect many of the examples are bogus. Blizzard games are a case in point; my experience is that many people LOVE the stories in Blizzard games. Just because they stop paying attention after the 5,824th time through doesn't mean the story was a waste of time - it just means the gameplay outlasted it, as gameplay tends to do.

I propose altering this trope to refer to the behavior itself (skipping past the story to get to the gameplay), rather than trying to judge which games inspire this behavior in players.

When you phrase it like that this just sounds really subjective anyway. I'd put up a Subjective Trope tag if I could figure out how the devil to make them.

See you in the discussion pages.

This just screams rant trope. Subjective at best, but otherwise, it's just another attempt to thinly disguise Complaining About Shows You Dont Like as a "real" trope so you can actually do that.

I'd rather cutlist it and be done with it.
