[QUOTE="Terath Ninir, post: 5597114, member: 47"] Hey! First day back and I've already added someone to my Ignore list. Cool, man. :cool: Okay. For the last 6 or 7 years, I've been playing Exalted. We started with 1e and switched to 2e for our current campaign. I can NOT imagine anyone saying 1e is better. ~shudder~ 2e still has some major design flaws and... eccentricities... but it's WAY better than the first edition was. No comparison to the different D&D editions. 1e Exalted was flat out retarded in a lot of ways. :) The essential problem here is that human beings will not accept the fact that you can not change someone's opinion with an argument. (And I'm not saying I'm any better. I've been in more pointless flamewars than most people in my day.) Maybe Redbadge could convince me 4e is a good game if he sat me down, went through the books and showed me the cool parts, and then ran me through one of his games. But can his logical arguments on a message board ever change my opinion that Pathfinder is better than 4e in every way? No. Flat out no. Edition wars are exactly the same as any other flame war on any other subject. You really want to change other people's opinions with your reasoned arguments. And you really, really aren't ever going to do it. :) [/QUOTE]
