[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9431315, member: 6801228"] This debate is only caused by people who refuse to accept the facts as presented. And it is causing the exact harm WoTC was trying to avoid. I've been watching streams where, despite WoTC consistently telling people "you can use your old characters, you can use the old subclasses, you can use the old races, you can use the old adventures" people are telling their audiences "Well, I heard someone on the internet say this is a new edition, so can I use my old characters? Can we use the old subclasses? Can we even use the old adventures, or do I have to abandon all that to move to the new edition of the game that people keep saying is coming? Is this different than the 24 rules? Is that something else?" Not because WoTC has been unclear. Not because WoTC has lied and secretly none of those things are true, but because since playtest 1 of the unearthed Arcana or before, people have insisted this is not a backwards compatible rules revision and that it is REALLY an edition change that is completely incompatible with everything that came before it. Their evidence? Well... things changes right? I mean, they changed some things, like backgrounds! Completely impossible to make those work with only a single minor change, right? Right? WotC are LIARS who only want Money and care about nothing else, trying to trick you into buying a useless materials that are actually out of date... and on and on it goes. Confusing everyone who just knows people are arguing about it. [/QUOTE]
