[QUOTE="BriarMonkey, post: 5767751, member: 95387"] I choose to not. It is my opinion. I am not forcing it on anyone. By stating one's opinion one allows that others may understand from where their arguments stem - a point of reference. You can choose to accept it or not, but the choice is ultimately yours. And that choice will have zero impact on my perceptions or opinions. Of course, if we are talking quantum physics, which I know little about, my opinions can be changed by presenting alternatives. I tried 4e, and in my mind, the feel is completely wrong. I went to Pathfinder, which feels like what I want, so there I am. So, my opinion on 4e is fixed. Just because something is labeled as something, doesn't make it so. If the game of Monopoly was redesigned so that you no longer bought houses and hotels, but instead souped up your spaceship for intergalactic trade warfare, would you consider it Monopoly? It may have the same name, but no, it wouldn't be the same game. Oh, and I actually did qualify my original statement - the part that says "And for me". Funny how when quotes are torn apart, one seems to use only those couple of words that seem to try to make their point... I'm of the firm belief that one should play what they want and what makes them happy. There is no such thing as badwrongfun, in my view, when it comes to RPGs, boardgames, CRPGs, MMOs, and the like.
