In Your Opinion, How Broken Is 3E?

[Florian]

We are in fact evaluating the system not dm fiat.
The system can be measured and discussed. Your personal preferences or anyone else's can not.
Sure you can tweak and ignore the system but it does NOT make the sistem balanced in itself.

Read "system does matter" if you can, asap

I rather think you did´t understand "system does matter" at all.
That is about the design decision to actively think about what you want in your game and create positive feedback mechanics so people will play the game as you have intended, having fun that way.

That is a pretty arrogant stance and actually led nowhere productive while still not providing an answer to the whole role-playing vs. game divide.
