[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 4024297, member: 10095"] That's funny, because you didn't use the word mock. At all. In fact, the word "mock" doesn't show up in this thread until your latest post. You said that "'Constantly pointing out that all prior editions of D&D suck' and 'Constantly saying all prior D&D sucks' are very different things," even though they're not different (and it's still completely untrue). They have just "merely" said it. And they also made the video, which is a humorous look at a clunky rule. If you felt mocked or insulting, then it seems you're honestly just looking for any thing to interpret as an insult. That exact thing has happened at my table ("I'm gonna grapple." Four other people around the table stare blankly at the speaker. "Uh... why?"), with the complexity of the rules eventually moving the player to simply attack instead. And I'd say you're totally lost when you look at something like that as reducing an entire edition to quirks and flaws. Oh, I see. Being honest about someone's "baby" is attacking. 3rd Edition has problems with over-complicated rules (grapple, for example) and it's a hodge-podge of content (since stuff is pulled from all kinds of settings). Are you trying to deny this fact, or are you just upset that someone is willing to point it out? That kind of polarization only exists in your head as far as my tastes are concerned, since your attempt to assign motivations and beliefs to me (a violation of the forum rules, by the way) is completely off base. I played 3E for almost 7 years before I stopped using it because of my problems with it, and I had fun until the frustration pushed me away from it. I find people who say completely false things and try to attribute them to WotC (or anyone else for that matter) to be quite annoying, myself. [/QUOTE]
