[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4626880, member: 2020"] 916 votes, and we have another adjustment in the results: Changeover: 32% No Changeover: 58% Partial Changeover: 10% Option 6: 31% I sincerely hope the results of this poll are not accurate, because if they are, I'm afraid Hasbro will take the rights to D&D, lock them up, and thus we'll see D&D go the way of Dragon and Dungeon Magazines. Obviously, I do not want that. But there it is. Only 1 out of 3 of the poll respondants are entirely or mostly going with 4E. 2 out of 3 either are not, have tried 4E and gone back to earlier editions, or are playing both 4E and earlier editions. Notably, this last group, those playing both 4E and earlier editions, is small. It is only 10% of poll respondents. It would appear that people either play 4E or earlier editions. There really isn't much of a 'let's play both' attitude. At least, not in this poll. For 9 out of 10, it's one of the other, but not both 4E and earlier editions. If 2 out of 3 people are refusing to go with 4E, if this poll is accurate, then Hasbro has suffered a colossal loss of it's base from the game it supports. I cannot see them taking no action, not with results of this magnitude. Just my opinion. I hope my poll is inaccurate. (And yes, some people have left the hobby since the inception of 4E. I am aware of that. Somewhere, it would seem, between 1% and 5% of all polled ... that is, had that option been in this poll, somewhere between 1% and 5% would have voted for it. This aggravates things further. You have to add that to the No Changeover vote, since obviously they did not change over to 4E. They no longer play D&D at all.) (sighs) [/QUOTE]
