Are Essentials more old school or just a clever marketing ploy?

[QUOTE="Jack99, post: 5358214, member: 53135"] Sorry that I melted your brain, that was not my intent. I just want to clear up that I do understand "the other side", I was after all part of it for a long time. It's only lately that I have begun to realize some of the things I have stated in my other posts. Of course, it could just be what Anathos says (quoted below) - that it's the many powers that have made my players lazy. Well, then I am still happy about Essentials, in the hope it will make them less lazy. I do not think it's just that though, but we will see. Of course, in my case, it might take a while, since we are nowhere near done with the current campaign, and I am not going to force or even suggest that we redo our characters. It will have to wait until we are done, or I kill them. That of course can, given my high-frequency of kills and TPK's, happen any day ;) [/QUOTE]
