I apologise if this sounds snarky, but I am getting quite fed up of seeing people take time to post to a thread just to say "This sucks", effectively. I fully appreciate that 4e isn't to everyone's taste, but if you didn't like something, can you at least be a bit more precise about what you didn't like, and how you'd make it better?
