[QUOTE="Fifth Element, post: 5959825, member: 48135"] Okay, so the part you're missing is that we're really responding to your stated support of bedrockbrendan's comment (can't XP you etc), which supported the poster who said that 4E was not an RPG by trying to explain away the insult by assuming the poster meant something else. Then you go on to claim that 4E fans just won't accept that some people don't like tactical combat. It's a strawman, because the comment causing the problem is not "I don't like tactical combat" but "4E is not an RPG." That's not a fair characterization. Someone who's happy with their chosen edition of the game should not be derided for being happy with their chosen edition. I guess it depends on what you mean by giving a new edition "a chance". If you mean "buy the core game and play it for a while", then it's reasonable to not do that if you're content with your current game. If instead you mean "look into the rules etc to see if it might be to your liking", then it should be non-controversial to say everyone should give it a chance in that sense. [/QUOTE]
