[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5860521, member: 22779"] Fair enough. But, then, why should I let it go? When you can actually quote the books, and prove that someone is wrong, I should back off and just ignore it? When you see people spouting off stuff from years ago that wasn't true then, but got repeated so many times that now it's taken as gospel, we should just step back and shrug? It's just "opinion" so, it doesn't matter? To some degree, sure, but, at the end of the day, I'd think it's far, FAR better for the hobby for people to criticise something they actually know something about than not. I make a point of avoiding talking about 1e mechanics any more because I'm very tired of having my ass handed to me by people who know the game better. So, I rarely make any 1e mechanics comments anymore. But, the reverse never seems to wash. "Fighters are now Wizards! 4e makes everyone a wizard! Every character is the same!!!!" is the meme that gets repeated over and over and over again. Should we just ignore the meme and hope it goes away on its own? It hasn't in 4 years, so, why would it now? [/QUOTE]
