[QUOTE="HP Dreadnought, post: 4099203, member: 55935"] Actually you're being screamingly disengenuous on this point. The VAST majority of posters here all play 3.x in some form. There may be discussions over this or that aspect of the 3.x rules on the forums, but to imply that 3.x is not the baseline from which the latest version of the rules must be judged is ridiculous. 4E is about fixing the problems inherent in 3.x (and selling more books. . . but whatever). Whether or not some people switch will be driven by how well 4E addresses the problems of the previous edition. (Some will switch regardless, some won't switch at all. . . but its the fence sitters in the middle who are in question.) The choice is, do I continue to play 3.x and its various problems, or do I switch to 4E and whatever problems it may have. So the whole point of most of the discussion around here is comparing and contrasting the two systems to determine which handles things better. In the case of 4E, we've already seen enough to know that playing a 4E fighter is more interesting than a 3E fighter. You cry about trip. . . how many people aside from trip specialists ever used it? In the case of trip specialists. . . they just did the tripping thing over and over again, so weren't really any more interesting than the straight melee types anyway. [/QUOTE]
