4e didn't so much as jump the shark, as the shark now appears to have jumped it.
4e's a great RPG, it just isn't DnD. Pathfinder is DnD - or at least feels like it.
[MENTION=88106]Erdrick Dragin[/MENTION]: 3.0 was a wonderful creature in that it did not too far alienate the DnD faithful, while at the same time bringing many people 'back' to DnD who had left it during 1E or 2E for other RPGs. It had just enough 'different stuff inspired by the competition' and yet -not- too far from 'the road well traveled' to get people all sitting at the same table again.
4e made the mistake of assuming -only- the people who had left DnD 'back in the day' were worth holding onto. And while I was in that crowd - we were always the minority and split across many different games due to a variety of incompatible tastes. 4e also tried to get WoW's players to sit down to a table for 8 hours every Tuesday night... and well... there's a reason WoW players don't do that...
