Do caster out of combat options matter?

[Rynjin]

Hey it worked, I feel like one of the smart guys now! All I had to do was attack the people I'm arguing with and tell them they suck over and over and over again!.

I didn't call anyone out specifically, but yes if you are putting people on a rigid railroad and refuse to allow any deviation or out of the box problem solving, your campaign sucks.

Don't take it personal if the shoe fits. Maybe look to improving your campaigns.
