[QUOTE="Arakasius, post: 7756523, member: 6944960"] As for the edition wars I think too many people here have this thought that the final game is done and have basically said this is the shipped version. While I disagree with many of Jester's criticisms (but agree with others), if you opt out of the playtest than you opt out of your influence to change the game to be more like you want it to be. Also many of the issues you stated just because of reading the rules but not actually playing might be invalid. Similarly you might find issues with the game that you didn't notice on your reading of the rules. That is what the playtest is for afterall. Also for those who've decided this is the final game look back at the history of the first Pathfinder beta. They put a lot of experimental rules in there that were walked back before the final game was printed. Similarly they clearly came out at the start of this process that when they put some systems in they tried the more extreme version first. Who knows if they have a more PF1 magic system back in there instead of resonance or something different from the new archetyping. That is what the playtest is for. But I think Paizo does want to make the best game they can and will change stuff if they're convinced by the community. (more important to me is the collaboration with all the third party writers/freelancers they already work on with PF1) [/QUOTE]
