Most GMs who enjoyed running 4e seemed to have felt this way. If 4e didn't end up appealing to you (I ran it for a year but ultimately discarded it) the wishlist idea was yet another reason not to like the edition.I agree, wish lists were merely a technique that was referenced in one sentence. Yet 4e-bashers flailed on that line of text to no end! If you were a player, and you read it and picked up on it, you COULD JUST ACT, the worst that could happen is the DM threw it in your face, right? I mean, realistically he might ignore it, more likely it will at least color his thinking, and OFTEN GMs said "thank goodness, I don't have to do this work!" In fact, most 4e GMs seem to have felt that way.
