[QUOTE="Arnwyn, post: 3800755, member: 7701"] You had me until you included "I won't buy this". Whoops on your part! Because I'm not going to buy it - which, as you should know, is a [i]clearly legitimate decision[/i]. Some changes [i]have[/i] been announced, and the advanced timeline [i]has[/i] been published - so it's clear for all to see (and not "speculation" at all). Now, if those specific announced changes are unpalatable to certain peoople, then it is perfectly reasonable for those people to not spend their money on that book (which is a right and proper decision for a consumer). The rest could be great stuff - but if those specific changes are [i]bad enough[/i] (and that's all they have to be - bad [i]enough[/i]), then certain consumer may simply not be in a position at that moment in their 'gaming careers' (read: the leisure time available to them in their lives) to bother with going through and making the changes. I'm certainly not buying 4e FR, for example, as I'm no longer in any position to spend my (extremely limited and precious) leisure time in going through and trying to read, understand, and then change back what they've done. It already fails a cost/benefit analysis [i]just with the changes announced so far[/i]. That's my perogative, based on my personal situation, and some random internet guy blathering about "deep breaths" with no further knowledge about the free time of other posters is not going to change that. (Note that I'm sure 4e FR will be great for a certain segment of the gaming population - I'm just not one of them.) [/QUOTE]
