[QUOTE="thecasualoblivion, post: 4848072, member: 59096"] But why is it necessary to say so? Does it make one feel better to vent? Do you realize that when you vent like this you are denigrating other people and their opinions? You think that the new edition is bad? I like the new edition, does this mean there's something wrong with me because I like it? You may not mean to say that, but it gets said nonetheless. Its being self-centered that leads to this. Or, on the other hand, are you talking about influencing the next edition by complaining about this one? While I will admit that this happened to a great extent with the 3.5E to 4E evolution, people miss one massively important point: The complaints against 3.5E that drove the evolution of 4E were complaints made by WotC customers who were playing 3.5E. They were by and large not complaints made by people who were not playing 3.5E. I would not be surprised if WotC ignored the edition wars and people leaving D&D altogether, and listened only to people on the 4E/WotC forums saying "I play 4E but it could do X better" [/QUOTE]
