[QUOTE="Mythmere1, post: 5711594, member: 26563"] Which AD&D are we talking about, 1e or 2e? I saw virtually no hate between 2e and 3e, but a fair amount between 1e and 3e. As Man in the Funny Hat said, I think the very different circumstances between the 2e-3e jump as opposed to the 3e-4e jump made for a different kind of hating. 1e players felt betrayed by the 3e rules, but really not at all betrayed by the company. TSR was dead at that point, and although the 1e players didn't like the 3e rules (and would argue like anything about the quality of the rules, which was where the acrimony came in), I don't think 1e players felt betrayed, just disappointed. Obviously a LOT of people felt betrayed by the WAY that 4e was sprung out. My favorite edition is the 3LBBs plus the Greyhawk supplement (minus the paladin class). Also minus the weapon vs. AC chart if that's in GH, but I think it was in Blackmoor. [/QUOTE]
