[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 3767329, member: 18"] Whether you're looking forward to 4E, or fearing it, the comment that the designers "love D&D", is utterly meaningless. To the utter cynic, it's just more marketing speak, of a slightly more advanced yet reactionary kind - it's exactly what they would say, isn't it? (imagine sneering at this point) To the wide-eyed true believer, it's exactly what they were thinking all a long, so doesn't make a sod of difference. To the 3.XE lover who doesn't intend to change, it's non-information, because he loves D&D too, and he's not keen to change it. The only people even potentially affected by it are easily-convinced quasi-cynics, for the rest of us, it's either confirming what we already assumed, or expected PR. You're surprised by PR and marketing, and advertising your product even if it attracts some fire from cynics on a messageboard somewhere? No wonder your title reads "somewhat confused". The modern world must be something of a wonder to you, eh? These "automobiles" are pretty exciting concept, aren't they? [/QUOTE]
