[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 3813276, member: 27051"] Our group is a real mixed bag of attitudes. One player is in full-on frothing WotC-hate mode. Another still hasn't quite made the shift from 2e and so seems a bit unsure. I am in the "happy with 3e, don't feel the need for 4e" camp and am satisfied to be left behind and become a grognard. Another sounds interested in 4e and will probably check it out (he says his other group are quite excited about it). Another guy is keen to try 4e and freely admits to liking The New Shiny. And another guy is a die-hard Traveller and Call of Cthulhu fan and so is taking great pleasure in our various delights and despairs - for him, a meagre [I]4th[/I] edition is nothing to get worked up about, lol. I spoke to the owner of my flgs the other day, and he seemed a bit put off by the whole thing. His sales of 3e have crashed (and for some reason, his nWoD stuff isn't shifting at all either - not sure if that's even relevant, though). He seemed to feel that WotC were relying at least in part on the flgs to sell 4e to customers who may not be convinced that they need it at all - specifically those customers who don't browse the internet and may be completely oblivious to WotC's marketing of the game (which I happen to believe is still the majority of gamers.) My old group back in Holland seem similarly split between those who have a raging hate-on for WotC, those who are ambivalent and those who want to see The New Shiny. I am guessing that we will natter about it fairly heavily this Xmas when I make my yearly pilgrimage back there. [/QUOTE]
