[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 5876226, member: 11300"] Are you sure this has come from one of the D&DN designers? I cannot find the source of this quote and would be saddened if indeed it came directly from one of the designers. Personally, I have not seen any 4e bashing from the designers and I read pretty much everything they are putting out. However, they have not exactly been gushing with 4e praise and some of their preliminary design decisions would seem to be reversing some of the "advancements" 4e made. This really should not be equated as 4e hate though. I've seen a lot of angst from a section of RPG.Net posters and occasionally it spills over here too. Most of this centres around Monte and his supposed lack of understanding of 4e. To such posters I would suggest waiting until the Alpha rules are out. One thing I DO know about Monte is his love and knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons, his knowledge of the design processes that go into making a new edition as well as his amazing capacity as a DM. I figure as long as he and his team get the core right, the optional add-ons should cater to those players who really wish to focus on a particular style of play from their favourite edition. I certainly don't see any point in death-riding the designers and every perceived mistake or error that they appear to be making. Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
