I guess you should just get used to having any attempt to discuss
4e with other
4e players be dismissed by a certain group of posters as "mouth noise" and the game then attacked as a "greedy marketing ploy" and a "boardgame' and any opinion to the contrary being dismissed as "delusional".
For the record, I agree with you that
4e has a very old school feel to it. I think its directly tied to the DM freedom that is built into the system, that and the re-emergence of class as a central component of character, rather than just a suite of abilities to be chosen at level up. The emphasis is back on leveling within a class as opposed to applying classes to your levels. I think that is a big source of the disconnect for some players, as well. I could see how
4e would feel more constricting to long time
3e players (especially those who started with
3e) with its old school emphasis on class choice.
And yet another word from our sponsors
