[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6363062, member: 22779"] I think that, right there, probably has the largest effect on how you see systems. More than anything else. If you've had a stable group for that long, the vast majority of issues that 3e was meant to fix, have already been fixed in that particular group. They'd almost have to be for the group to stay together for so long. It's not that earlier editions were easier or harder to modify, it's that you've spent so much time with the same group that the modifications that you've arrived at seem so intuitive and obvious. The thing is, the vast majority of groups are nowhere near that stable. One or two year half lives for most groups is the benchmark I've heard bandied about. Which means that a lot of gamers, in the same time that you spent with one group, have hopped five to ten different groups. Which is why you see 3e with very clear rules and the push for RAW that you see. It just makes changing groups so much easier. [/QUOTE]
