[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5022811, member: 6957"] Take a look and see if you can find the font of enlightenment where one self labeled 4e fan called those who prefer 3.X 'trogolodytes' - on a 3.X thread. And his choice of pulpit is at the root of the matter - he was standing there shouting the top of his pointy head off in a place where 3.X fans, myself included, would see him. There may well be some 3.x idjets who behave in similar fashion on 4e threads - but I don't play 4e [i]so I do not visit those threads[/i]. Because I read 3.X and 3.P threads, guess which 4e players I am more likely to encounter? The folks who are just sitting around the table, rollin' dice and killin' monsters 4e style are not the examples that I typically encounter, even though I have no doubt that they are the large majority. So, I only see the one side of the argument, and that from those I am least likely to appreciate. I do not encounter the 3e players who behave in like fashion, since they are off shouting at the top of their pointy little heads in another room. Those of you who play 4e, and enjoy the game, go ahead and enjoy it - that is what games are for. 3e players need to do the same, let them enjoy their game. If you don't like Monopoly, do not stand on the table and shout Monopoly sucks! Chutes and Ladders [i]FOREVER![/i] while crushing Park Place under your heel of game superiority. And those who like Clue? You may have great taste in games, but leave the Hi Ho Cherry-O players alone. Those little plastic cherries have [i]range![/i] The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
