[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 5662247, member: 221"] Hrm, I thought I acknowledged that others might have a problem and like the changes. Let me be clear: Others might have had problems and liked the changes and they are perfectly within their rights to do so. No condescension is meant nor should be understood to be implied. I do think that it is perfectly possible to run a game of 3e/PF without having any difficulties with wizards and find it a bit offputting to be told that the only reason I don't have a problem is I am doing it wrong. I would prefer to think the people without the problem are probably using the game as intended and that it suits their needs and styles very well. I also tend to agree with those who suggest the wizard problem is not as systemic as some would like to think it is. That is: I would tend to believe most 3e games did not have the problem. (But I admit I have not played in most 3e games and may be mistaken. I saw no need for the changes [i]in my game[/i] and furthermore thought that the mechanical changes, combined with the fluff changes, made the game unpalatable for my particular breed of Dungeons and Dragons. I am not sure why I need to explain my distaste beyond this, and doing so is likely to be less than productive and lead this thread off into a worse back and forth that fails to go anywhere, as it seems very hard for people not to begin arguments about matters of taste.
