But personally, I don't have enough self control to not reroll if the first roll sucks, and I don't like playing with weak stats. Rolling 30 times is similar to free ability score assignment and feels like cheating. I would actually prefer point buy as the only option.
I guess the difficulty here is that you can’t get what you want while others’ equally valid preferences are also met. Like you, I prefer point buy. But I can understand others who want the wilder variation, randomness and challenge that comes with rolling. Or who want to roll with physical dice then enter the results. Or who, as Niara said, want to replicate a table-top character.
It feels as though compromise is fair here, and while I know I’ll also be tempted to abuse any flexibility offered, feel that it’s more reasonable for me to try to impose self-discipline than to prevent others creating (legal) characters.
