Different definitions of the same word. When I hear someone say standard, I think of the thing that most people think of. In the case of RPG's video games, I think Final Fantasy. When I think role playing games, I think DnD. By the way, completely random questions-- is there a magic item in 4th that lets you communicate between long distances? I remember there were rings in 3rd that let you do that but I can't seem to find them in 4th. |
Context dictates definitions, and you're using the wrong one. Standard is the qualitative example against which other works are emasured, typically referred to by an artistic authority or a communal consent - and no, popularity is not the same thing as a communal consent of a qualitative standard, especially when the majority do not partake in a dialogue.
I really have no idea. I have yet to play 4e (sadly).
