Is my friend's unwillingness to try 4e irrational?

[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 4048407, member: 12037"] At this point, several times per session, people in my group start complaining about a bad rule in 3e and how they can't wait for 4e to come out. It's been getting worse and worse by the month, and by the time May comes along, it will probably be pretty bad. High level 3e is just borked. We're positively drooling over 4e at this point. I've got more people wanting to join my group than I've had in five years since I ran games in college. As soon as the 4e announcement hit I was getting calls and emails asking if people could play in my 4e game when it was released. These are people I haven't talked to in years. [i]Worlds and Monsters[/i] is one of the best gaming books I've bought in a long time concerning fluff, possibly since Planescape was being released. It has driven me to, for the first time in over a decade, create a homebrew based on the Points of Light concept. I've got adventure ideas all over the place, too. I haven't been this inspired since, again, Planescape was being released. It's not like we don't know anyting about 4e. There have been development blogs, books, sneak peeks, and endorsements by respected playtesters. None of these things alone is probably worth committing to a switch, I'll grant you. But, there is a lot, a [i]whole lot[/i] of reason to believe that as soon as 4e hits the shelves, I will never want to look back. I've got a lot of incentive. Choosing to switch now isn't some half cocked impulsive decision at this point. Anyone who has been paying attention is very informed about the direction that 4e is going. It has some great designers who have been open about this direction even though they knew not everyone would like D&D to head in that direction. So we have a pretty good idea what it will be like to play in a 4e game at this point. So I've got a whole lot of datapoints to use in my decision. [/QUOTE]
