[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 5694793, member: 2205"] I've always been better at pithy observations than real substance. I play to my strengths. You wouldn't, I presume. But you can imagine, right, that there may be a lot of other gamers that have lingering dissatisfactions with the game? When 4e was announced I was astounded at all the hostility that people were suddenly announcing about 3.5. How they had just gotten completely tired of certain aspects of it, and really needed something new to recapture the D&D flag again, or they'd just play something else. It certainly happens. In big numbers. But you can imagine, right, that people may like different versions of D&D for different reasons? Or that people who weren't even unhappy necessarily with a prior version of D&D might find the the new one unexpectedly scratches their itch much better than they expected it would? I didn't realize that what you were actually saying all this time was that people who switch editions aren't pure/orthodox/fundamentalist/worthy enough. I guess that explains why you seem to struggle with the idea that many gamers aren't necessarily crusading converts to the edition that they're playing, even if they enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
