I asked the dm if we could do RPGA standards for stat generation and hit points.

Well, this group is obviously not well suited for you (or for a sane and rational world). I recommend you deal with this problem by finding another group, cause that group looks, at first glance, to be a lost cause.

The longer you stay, the more frustrated you will become. You won't be able to change your DM without a degree in psychology, and if he won't change, you'll continue to be disappointed.
I ran into a similiar group & hoped it would improve with my influence.
It didn't, the Dm just drove me nuts with his insane house rules.
Yes to the finding a new group that is more to your tastes.
I too have run into groups like this, but as I'm usually a DM when ever a run into a group... I end up subtly toning down the power level with every new session and every new game. My favorite is to say "okay, we are gonna do a really, really low powered game this time... Everyone gets (3.5 standard) 28 points for the point buy." and then to run the game strictly by the book until the group realizes that it's not so low power after all... and then they eventually get used to it.
Well, except that one guy that is like "I can't even get two 18s! How am I supposed to make a character that is worth a ****?!" because he doesn't understand that his character is a member of a team... not a team all by himself.
Build Pun-Pun.

1) Leave and find a new group.
2) DM yourself, and show them all how it's really done. The flaw in the latter plan is they will have to get over the "But where are my uber-stats" and "what about my uber-sword" first, but stick with it. Use RPGA standards and let it be known that's what you are doing and DO NOT under any circumstances give in to their tantrums. Anyone that storms out is going to look bad enough to the players that stayed ...
As for the RPGA - the RPGA rules are in place to facilitate a world-wide gaming community. There's no reason on earth why home games need 'em.
Having said that: I'd walk after the first session. So should you. Politely "thanks but no thanks".
... hang on ...
Oh, It's you, YamiShinobi. Can everyone please forget that I wasted my time replying to this?
You keep saying you've got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You've been a messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now someone else is gettin' all your best.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be a changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep playin' where you shouldn't be a playin
and you keep thinkin' that you´ll never get burnt.
Ha!
I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
and what he knows you ain't HAD time to learn.

thats like everyone starting a game of monopoly and everyone has a million dollars and everyone owns all 4 railroads and boardwalk.....

And I've been heard to say, more or less just what the DM quoted says.
Except it's 3d6 in order, 6 times. If you qual, good. If not, no need to whine, just leave.
(I went a lil' off track there
)TS
Leave.
Any questions?
