[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 4530209, member: 61155"] Who's the one making more complaints? Are you saying old timers can enjoy all editions with equal ease? There would seem to be plenty of examples to the contrary. Are you saying it is somehow inherently better to enjoy older editions instead of newer ones, rather than do the opposite? Grimstaff said "I'd think its fairly obvious us old-school fans are notoriously hard to please..." I think, if that is the case, it isn't a matter of liking one edition over the other - it is a matter of unwillingness to accept the [I]existence[/I] of a disliked edition. The 'new school fans' you accuse of being harder to please have found an edition they enjoy and are perfectly happy playing it - and don't have any issues with you instead playing 3rd or 2nd or any earlier edition. The old-school fans being referred to here, on the other hand, seem to take active offense at the presence of the new edition and the changes it has made. Now, I'm not going to say they can't do so - everyone gets to have their own opinion. I'm also not saying this applies to all old-school gamers, or even a significant portion of them. But I do think it is clear that they are the ones with an issue - not the new-school gamers who are perfectly happy to play the game they enjoy, and not worry about anything else. [/QUOTE]
