[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6325602, member: 6698278"] LFK The mechanics used to devise a game have but one objective which is fun. Everything else has to serve that purpose. I've never played a spellcaster in any serious campaign. I have tended towards rogues and to a lesser degree fighters. I remember having great fun with BECMI, 1e, 2e, and 3e. I hated 4e and don't consider it any fun at all. I admit fun is subjective. My own evaluation of those games no doubt differs from yours. The problem is that 4e is by no means universally acclaimed as more fun. In fact wotc is changing 5e for a reason. They've felt the pinch of customer dissatisfaction. So when you act like 4e was the second coming of rules realize you probably annoy people in the exact same way wotc annoyed people when they told players they had been playing wrong all those years.
