GM's that after accepting a character nerf them retroactively by writing the roleplay around a single character's skills and making their skills practically useless indirectly, sometimes in nonsensical ways.
Example: goblins and kobolds are considered as smart as humans to prevent a character using weak mind manipulation on them.
And here I thought you were going to complain about people not showing up in EoD SoS.
EDIT: Although, to be fair, what you ARE complaining about is slightly annoying too. This been happenin' for a while?
