That's misreading me.
I'm confident that every single roleplayer who's ever dropped rules to enhance their immersion has done so for good reasons, and has been gladder afterward. I myself dropped rules to enhance my immersion, for good reasons, and you can bet I was gladder afterward.
But I dropped crappy rules.
It wasn't the rules-ness of the rules that screwed up my immersion, I'm pretty sure. It was their crappiness.
I just think it's possible to design non-crappy games.
