[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 4055535, member: 14159"] When I started playing, it was with AD&D 2e (with some holdover rules from 1e) with the Player's Option/Skills & Powers add-on (what at the time we called Edition 2.5). I'm not going to 4e, and part of it is that I learned D&D with lots of crunchy bits and detail and simplifying the game (like simplified skills) goes away from how I learned and how I like to play D&D. That for many years all the campaigns I was in involved the Great Wheel to some degree, and many were Forgotten Realms campaigns that revelled in loads of realmslore, and part of 4e is about how the Great Wheel is now considered bad and not fun, and how the Forgotten Realms apparently wasn't good either and had to be smashed and remade as a completely new setting isn't helping at all either. 4e might be a fine game, but it's way too far from what I think of when I think of D&D for me to replace the 3.5 I currently play with it.
