[QUOTE="Lhorgrim, post: 2907471, member: 12222"] I voted "Don't enjoy it as much...but still like it alot." Let me be clear though, this has almost nothing to do with the game system. I started in the early 80's, so I have played through three decades. The biggest factor in my enjoyment has been the groups that I have gamed with. Good group=Big fun. Bad group=not so much. Currently I have a sorta group. We sorta get together. Sorta regularly. Most of the group members sorta know the rules. :( . 3.X has intensified the difficulty for me to find a compatable gaming group because the rules allow for so much flexibility in play styles. I think the flexibility is a good thing, but now I sometimes find a group to play with that ends up having such a divergent style from my own (Character optimization over all else! for example) that I just don't enjoy the game as much. I have lamented before that I live in a gamer wasteland, and that my public service job makes it difficult for me to schedule gaming. Those are the issues that have lessened my enjoyment over time. Has little to do with the system. [/QUOTE]
