I agree with all the points above...
Also I wonder, what people think that could be added to
4e in future spats to provide more of a 1e feel?
For me, maybe a simpler class like the old 1e fighter. I don't believe any
4e class is hard to run - the ranger is probably the easiest - but to complete grok a class can take a little while, due to the tactical nature of the game. I'd like something that a newbie can pick up, it would just use the basic attacks, but can scale with the rest of the group. Maybe called an Adventurer - not very traditional as far as classes go, but would fit the bill.
And yet another word from our sponsors
