[QUOTE="Tequila Sunrise, post: 6189873, member: 40398"] That's because you don't see a problem with your favorite edition. I've had a paizo forum account for years, and I still post there. If what you're insinuating were true -- that 3.x's issues aren't such a big deal to most D&Ders -- I'd expect the paizo forums to be free of all the debates we saw during the 2000 - 2008 era.
