D&D 3.x A message to the 3.5ers

[Wolfspider]

A family of over 50,000 strangers who mainly post under fictional identities?

Hey, I take what I can get.

Ignore is at best a very flawed solution of last resort.

Knowing that people have Ignore lists and that I might very well be on one makes me deeply sad.

So, from all of us who are looking forward to 4e on some level, whether it's with mild enthusiasm or full-blown 4e sycophancy -- if you plan on sticking with 3.5 and have made that decision, please stop posting in the 4e forum.

I find it highly offensive that a regular member would take it upon themselves to invite a whole group of other members to excuse themselves from a forum. Until you become a moderator or administrator at ENWorld, please stop telling other forum guests where they are and are not welcome to post. Not cool.

Meanie.

OK, my post about family was pretty niave. I'll admit that.

I agree that the rants are tiresome, even to someone like me who is not entirely excited about the new edition.

I just don't feel like we should be forcing anyone out of the forum.

More constructive criticism is needed. Rants should be discouraged.

 

[Wormwood]

More constructive criticism is needed.

I'll second that.

My ignore list is getting pretty large. I've added people who I would never have considered adding, sadly. But, it has made reading the 4e forums far less of a slog through underbrush. I'm probably missing out on some good stuff on other forums, but if every single thing somebody says is a complaint, without even mentioning why half the time, then its just a waste of time to read through those posts.

Debates are fun. I love reading them and responding. That's cool.

Constant ranting is totally different.

Same thing happened to me -- fortunately it only took a few days into 4E discussion to see who the most irritating people were and get them on my list. Sadly, it is generally "fellow" grognards who made the list.

He....hello? Eric? Are you there? :\

I'm not saying you have to be a "Wormwood", here -- you don't have to think most 4e changes are the Bestest Thing Evar to participate -- but there's a huge difference between not liking some element of 4e (for instance, I don't like a lot of the names and the fact that 50% of the PHB races are elven) and grumbling about the entire edifice altogether.

So, from all of us who are looking forward to 4e on some level, whether it's with mild enthusiasm or full-blown 4e sycophancy -- if you plan on sticking with 3.5 and have made that decision, please stop posting in the 4e forum.

Only if you get the fan boys to stop with the "Its the best thing EVAR!!!!!!", then sure.

Otherwise...no.

If I have to put up with fan boys, you have to put up with grognards.
