[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6756586, member: 22424"] While that's true, we can't determine which fans didn't like it because they hated the loss of the lore, vs the ones who hated it because they disliked the [i]specific[/i] changes, vs the ones who hated it just because it was 4e. (If you'll allow me an analogy: it's somewhat like Hollywood's reluctance to do a female-led superhero film. They justify it because none of the existing ones have done at all well, which is true... but that assumes that the problem was "female-led", rather than that "Supergirl", "Catwoman", and "Elektra" are all pretty dire films.) But, that said, WotC are doing the right thing in the current situation, IMO - faced with having made a change that didn't work, it makes a lot of sense to step 'back' to the last stable state, as it were. :) (Though, perhaps ironically, I also thought their "reduce the lore" was probably the right thing to do back then, too - though I didn't care for the specific changes made.)
