[QUOTE="JackSmithIV, post: 4550232, member: 74901"] If that's why they moved to 4th Edition.

Full rights to be aired? Yes, speak out, but for how long? When does it become enough that we have three threads at any given time on the main page of the General forums that are started by people disgruntled by the new system looking for some recognition. It is [I]very clear to everyone[/I] that there is a [I]large party[/I] that is aggrieved by 4th Edition because it doesn't represent they want in a gaming experience. But why is this?
