For me the most fun part of RPGs is learning how all the systems interact and exploiting them to make my own OP or goofy build. Kinda like putting together a puzzle through experimentation and playing the actual game where the puzzle is the real goal. Of course, a lot of games don’t actually have deep enough systems to play around with and exploit.

Some people simply don’t care about the puzzle aspect and just want to play the actual game in the most frictionless way possible, that’s totally fine too. There’s no right or wrong way to have fun, judging people for not having fun the exact way you do is childish and kinda reactionary tbh
