Almost half of the times I'm crossing you, you keep using this argument about "20 years old design" but I'm not sure if I've ever seen a sensible argument about why this "new and modern" take would be an improvement in any discernable way.
This, even ignoring that Pathfinder is actually a 2018 release. One that technical issues aside got almost universal praise despise its limited budget, I may add.


I provided a fairly specific example of how the overall experience feels better when you're not just stuck chowing down scarce consumables and relying on healing spells from a specific class to progress.
Giving the player an option to remove pointless downtime that was once considered to be "roleplaying" but was really just how we justified the limitations of the technology at the time is a "new and modern" take that's an improvement.

Willingly ignoring the sensible arguments just because they don't line up with your thinking or expectations don't mean that they're not there.

I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.
