[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4378956, member: 22779"] Why BryonD? That's what you consistently fail to answer. Why should it be different this time around? Last time around, it took time for people to make the switch over. Why should it suddenly be that the only people who switch will do so immedietely and everyone else will stand their ground? Heck, take me for example. I don't play 4e. Never have. Not a single game. I play 3.5. And will likely do so for the next couple of years. We're finishing an Eberron game and next we're doing Savage Tide. Out of my group of 7, 4 are 3.5 only and 3 are half and half. Yet, we all agree that eventually we'll make the switch. That fits exactly with your numbers. There are any number of reasons not to make the switch right now. Yes, it could be that people don't like the new edition. It could also be time factors, money, lack of knowledge, or any number of other things. The idea that unless you change immeditely you will never make the switch is ludicrous. It's funny how your tune has changed though. Before you insisted that everyone made the switch to 3e right away. When that was shown to possibly be false, you automatically assume that anyone who isn't changing is doing so because they don't like 4e. I'm just showing that it took time for 3e to filter down through the ranks. There's no real reason to think the same thing won't happen again. Do some people not like 4e? Of course. Then again, lots of people railed against 3e too. There's a reason you can't talk about 3e on Dragonsfoot. But, eventually, the majority of players did make the switch. What evidence is there that this won't be the situation this time? [/QUOTE]
