[QUOTE="Belen, post: 2252776, member: 1405"] I think you're taking those comments too personally. To me, they represent a difference of opinion. The rules of 3e really make a difference in how the game plays and feels. I can see why people do not get the same feeling from the game that they had in the past. In most cases, these people are not flaming anyone for playing 3e, they are stating an opinion. If they feel that way, then arguing with them or making poor comments about the rules from past editions will only cause the situation to warm up. 3e is the current version of D&D and it retains enough sacred cows to still identify with D&D, but it is a different game. It is a stronger game and the rules are more open and intuitive, but the feel and flavor can be at odds from people who enjoyed past editions. One thing I have noticed on ENWorld is a large number of people start to get rude when someone posts problems with 3e or if someone dares to think that a previous edition handled things better. I can say that I have been personally attacked for views like this on a large number of occasions by rabid 3e fanboys who never admit that 3e CAN have faults. So, for as many comments as you can find decrying 3e, I'll bet I can find an equal or greater number attacking the opposite viewpoint. In many cases, the fanboys of 3e get personal whereas people commenting about how 3e is not really D&D are stating a opinion which people take personally. There is a difference. [/QUOTE]
