D&D 3.x gamers who skipped 4e, why are you not "upgrading" to Pathfinder?

[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5266459, member: 2093"] I like 3.5. We don't play high level Dnd, so most of the trouble spots never bothered us. Yeah, creating NPCs is a pain. Which is why I have a metric ton of Dungeon Magazines, Modules, and the NPC wiki. I like tinkering - I can't tinker with 4e in the way I have with 3.5. I have unique races, prestige classes, etc... that are tailored to my world. It was a LOT of work to get right, and I'm not abandoning it for a new set of rules that I really don't like. My players like 3.5. They've made NO moves to suggest they want me to switch. 2 of us play in an online 4e game, and actively dislike the rules. 2 others HAVE played some 4e, and still do once in a while, but don't much like it. The last player has never even mentioned it, and I know he can't afford the change - he's still using his 3.0 PH! Lastly, I think Pathfinder is a powerup. I'm all about low-level, low-power play. If I did ANY switch in rules, it would be to give E6 a try. Also, I like Paizo, but adventure paths are not my thing - I gave one a try, and I got BORED running it. So I'll stick with what I'm happy with. [/QUOTE]
