Give me a competent arguement that WotC is "changing rules for the sake of change"

[QUOTE="Sir Brennen, post: 3785657, member: 553"] Yeah, probably. Believers that the designers have a game plan already have tons of articles, blogs and posts to point to with statements made by WotC staff regarding their reasons for the 4E changes and how they're going to make the game better. You won't find any statements made by the designers to the effect of "we're making this here change, and it will probably cause this particular aspect of the game to suck." Any tidbits of mechanical updates which a naysayer will point to will then be defended and debated as to whether it actually constitutes a real change with a purpose. This then becomes basically an exercise in reading the minds of the designers if there are no explanations posted by them so far, or calling them liars if there have been. Edit: Also note that lack of a current documented reasons does not constitute absence of such reasons. And given how little we currently know about 4E, this renders the question as to whether certain changes are indeed merely for changes sake unanswerable. [/QUOTE]
