[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5971748, member: 9037"] There was an edition war when 3E came out a lot of people were very vocal about it and didn't make the switch and stuck with the older editions and the retroclones do you think they killed 3E? Even if Pathfinder had not come out I don't think people would have said well darn I guess I am going to have play that edition I don't like. They would do what I have done which is play with my 3.5 books or what my friend does play with his 2E books minuses skills and powers. The forums only represent a small portion of gamers, of my group I am the only who goes to them. So I doubt the fact that for a lot of people who didn't change or didn't stick with had anything do with the hate and the misinformation. For some I think it had to do with timing. 4E came out right at the start of the great recession and lot of people have lost jobs and have known people who have and many people stopped spending money on luxuries. I think it is rather interesting to put the blame on people for not liking an edition and not buying it. I don't care how much I love DnD I am not going to spend money on books I will never use. As for a correlation they don't work like that. That is just fuzzy logic just because 2+2=4 and 2x2=4 does not mean 3+3 and 3x3 will equal the same number. [/QUOTE]
