[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7217799, member: 15700"] I anxiously await the references to people who said they left 4e because their #1 reason was it was too balanced for their tastes. I really look forward to that evidence. Every reason I've seen came down to other factors that had nothing to do with balance: how it felt, the mechanics, etc. Things that while [I]may [/I]impact balance, are not dependent or reliant on it at all. AEDU is just a mechanic, like any other mechanic, that isn't on itself any more balanced than anything else. It can both be extremely balanced, or completely imbalanced depending on how it's used. So to basically call someone a liar who says they don't like that mechanic for how it's structured as opposed to some unrelated thing is both lazy and dishonest. It's lazy edition warring to say that everyone who doesn't like your favorite edition just doesn't like balanced games (I'm sorry, are "intolerant of balance"), regardless of what they actually happen to be saying are the reasons.
