Im sandbox. I think that this is only one scale in what a player is, but it is interesting. The psychology of this might come into play with these balance/not-balanced arguments as far as whether or not something is any big deal. The gamers would consider any small imbalance as a major problem while the sandboxers would be willing to make some allowances if its in theme.

The sandboxers also would have a focus of wanting all nations to balance against all nations, while the sandboxers would be more willing to accept a rock/paper/scissors mode of balance. Very interesting.
