Actually, I really have to disagree here. I’ve never seen a lack of creativity stop someone from creating a D&D monster, writing a short story, or trying to get a date.

I find this sort of play style to be somewhat repetitive and therefore boring. To sight an example you need not look farther than the RPGA. The entire set up starts off with adventures starting and ending in a bar, to not take longer than 4 hours per session. All games must be approved by the "triad" in that area.
