[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6315819, member: 82106"] I have to agree with [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4139]Neo[/MENTION]nchemeleon. I don't really want to get into some big debate of this being an 'edition war' issue, but its DOES smell of haterism. This was a VERY common pattern with people who really actively disliked 4e. You take a very trivial and often common aspect of the game, warp it by whatever interpretation, unfavorable (mis)reading of the rules, or just beat on it as "my sensibilities are unable to encompass this" and RIDE that baby for the next four years. Perhaps we are all VERY impatient with it and simply call it out and burn it the millisecond we see a sign of it, but given that the community did virtually nothing but poop (I'd use a less polite term) on my gaming preferences for the last 5 years straight I just have no interest in seeing even the faintest whiff of it and won't tolerate it at all. This might make me a bit reactionary, but so be it. In the interests of peace and friendliness and burying the hatchet that got stuck in my head lest it get wielded against others I'm not climbing Mt Edition War again by any means. However, I think the guy could have been looking for a reason to not like his 4e experience, and eladrin teleporting through keyholes was the vehicle. I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
