[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 4550754, member: 7394"] My answer is that they should keep playing the old game or find a new one. Pathfinder works for me. See, I get the frustration because I also feel it, but the thing to remember is that WotC owns a brand. They do not own your game. And if you don't like the direction they went with 4E, then ignore it. I walked away from the boards for a while, played other games, pretended the ENWorld didn't exist, and ultimately came to the conclusion that the problem wasn't WotC for wanting to reinvent D&D in a way that is more profitable, or with the people who like the new game, but with me because I was too inflexible to just accept that change happened. My friends like to play a variety of games and they'll happily play any game I want to run. I'm not forced to run 4E or play it. Nobody is. There's enough material out there for the version of the game I prefer and it isn't like they need to be continually making more in order for me to keep playing. On a related nore, I don't like anime either, so should I get upset with the people who like anime? I do like the Star Wars Clone Wars TV series, so should I get upset with the people who don't like Clone Wars? I like Star Trek TNG more than any of the other Trek spinoffs. Does that mean that I should get upset at those who like Voyager best? I like both the new BSG and the old BSG, and readily accept both as good. I think we all just need to stop trying to "win" this and just play whatever game we like. [/QUOTE]
