Have default optional rules changed?

[Kool Kat]

"My sentiments exactly. I couldn't be bothered if I am not playing with the 'perfect' mix of optional rules. It's not like I play these games for a living, or you know, I'm in the Australian JTS Wargaming team at the Olympics and a gold medal is at stake. So what if the scenario plays differently because you didn't click on a particular box? Stressing about TOO many optional rules = First World problems." - CountryBoy

Gent: 

Players approach the PzC Series differently.

There are gamers who don't want to understand the nuances and game play impact of optional rules and who play exclusively against the AI. I suspect you fit in that category.

There are other players who play exclusively against human opponents and wish their PBeM experience to be optimized by a careful use of appropriate and tested optional rules for a specific scenario. I fall into this category. 

Why disparage players who don't approach the PzC Series as you believe? 

Surely there is room for both types of players and a whole plethora of other players too?
