[QUOTE="N0Man, post: 5023194, member: 64066"] Actually, I used to follow 3E threads. The reason I stopped was because many 3E threads and forums were like little clubs where it was ok to bash 4E and 4E players. Sure I saw trolls on both sides, but the difference was that since you were on their turf, it was acceptable to take shots at 4E, while taking a shot at 3E was seen as trolling. Many times it was, though sometimes people were treated as trolls for offering a legitimate criticism... though the same is true for criticism lobbed at 4E in 4E forums. As for the hate regarding the GSL, I can definitely understand disappointment, but again I don't understand the hate. People heap more hate on WotC for back pedaling on openness than they have for companies that never were open in the first place! If they had never had the OGL, then this contempt wouldn't exist. The hate is illogical from that perspective. It's like saying, "We hate you more than other companies because you are no longer doing what the most of the other companies didn't do in the first place!" [/QUOTE]
