[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 4995064, member: 7737"] Actually, who knows? I don't have any more insight the mass of players out there than you do. The former. Let me put it this way: when I was younger, I used to spend my evenings reading the (1e) DMG, marveling at all the items. I don't do that with the (4e) AV. I don't necessarily think this is an edition thing. I think it is a combination of me being older, and having different tastes that I used to. I'm sure there's a 2009 version of the 12-year-old me who reads the AV at night just like I used to read the DMG at night. And that kid would be very disappointed if 4e did [U]not[/U] have a plethora of magic items. Personally I find the huge number of ultra-specific 4e items to be overwhelming and boring. But I'm under no illusion that my personal tastes can or should control the direction of the game. [/QUOTE]
