The problem is, we ended up with a rule for everything. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing; if you don't want to use a particular rule, you just ignore it, and if you want a rule, you could probably find it. Some people prefer just being able to play the game (a la 1E), and some people like tinkering with rules, creating new stuff, and playing around with things. That, I think, is why folks don't want to change over to 4E.</blockquote>
