[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 3770417, member: 32536"] What is wrong with criticizing something that isn't perfect? Just because the creators are saying that something doesn't work quite right in 3E, it doesn't mean that they hate 3E or are running some kind of soulless hype machine. All forms of creativity, whether it is art, film, writing, game-making, or even math and science, are fueled by people who are disastified with the status-quo going on and striving to make improvements. Most often, this is done because they are dissasitisfied with their own creations, and can imagine improvement. Saying something could be better is the first step to improvement. The bad scenerio is not an artist insulting a creation, it is when the artist is [i]not permitted[/i] to insult a creation. The problem isn't that the designers are bashing 3E now, it is that they were not allowed to bash 3E until now. Ideally, they will be bashing 4E come next June, and helping the fan community make improvements to solve the inevitable design flaws of 4E. Besides, I don't understand why people like you are suddenly acting so hurt by these claims. The 4E designers havn't said anything that fans of the game have not been saying for years now. The problems with 3E are not new inventions; people have been complainging about them since well before 3.5. All the designers are doing now is acknowledging that the fans had a point, and are trying to offer explanations. No one is trying to insult the fun you had, and if you think they are, you are taking this too personally. [/QUOTE]
