No need to play 4th edition when you can just play World of Warcraft. The effort to draw in the WoW players killed D&D. They thought they could dumb it down and make it more accessable to the masses and all they really did was alienate their long-time player base and ruin the game. In short, 4th ed sucks. I for one will cling to my 1st ed - 3.5 collection. I run a 3.5 campaign set in Greyhawk City every other Sunday, and neither my 7+ players nor myself will ever buy any of that 4th ed garbage.
