Except the difference being they released 4e stuff for us to dislike as opposed to us saying we liked everything in 3.5 don't change anything or else we won't buy.I'm not who you are quoting but NO I don't want healing surges to be on my character sheet. Thankfully 5e should allow me to do that. 4e certainly never game me a choice.Many of us, who liked 3e/PF style, would say that WotC should have administered the IV but they didn't. Somehow WotC didn't realize that just because they thought a product was made out of god himself, doesn't mean that everyone thought that.Beyond that however, this design goal should have nothing to do with that. They will try and recapture me as much as keep 4e people, that is the intention anyway. The problem will be with people (of any edition) who feel, as you say, "It's hard to improve something if you insist it was perfect to begin with." If you are going to stick to your guns about a previous edition then 5e will probably cause problems for you. If you don't want something or do want something and for you that is a deal breaker, then you are going to have problems with 5e. As others have repeatedly said, 5e isn't going to attract 100% of all DnD fans. It can't but it will attract those willing to give it a chance. It's intention is to create a game that Feels like the game everyone loves, regardless of edition. Up until I watch that video from PAX (which is actually found at the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/../index.php?page=dnd5e" target="_blank">D&D 5E Info</a> button at the top) I was skeptical. After that however, after hearing them talk and what they are working on and how they are doing it, I have hope they can at least approximate my game as well as yours. If they can do it close enough for both me and you remains to be seen.</blockquote>
