I suppose you'll have to excuse my assumption that the comment about losing karma on quickened spells being dispelled was a complaint about how you should be able to keep your quickened spells?
Were you not lamenting about losing the minimum 1 karma on a quickened spell? That's the only thing I attributed to you, Marcus. You said "Losing karma sucks, [etc]" to which I replied "[yeah, and you're just talking about the amount it costs now]" And then continued on the stereotypical 'back in my day' rant of how it used to cost a bunch more karma. And man, people complain more about it now for some reason. (Seriously, I don't remember any heated debates back before 5th edition about how it is unfair that bypassing a barrier requires two extra metamagics)
Honestly, based on your apparent frustration with my comments, and your previous commentary that quickening is overpowered and should have more checks to keep it reigned in, I am completely lost on what your stance is. I was trying to say that barriers should be one of the checks in place to keep quickening in check...
