[QUOTE="Nahat Anoj, post: 4117007, member: 25075"] Yeah, we pretty much went through this all with the change from 2e to 3e. There were lots of people swearing off the game, fearful that WotC was going to make the game more CCG, and so on. Nowadays people are swearing off the game due to the MMO/anime/videogame/boardgame/dumbed-down/overly-complex/whatever reason. It does seem to me that there is more "change hate" this time around. I don't know if that's because there actually is more hate or I'm just more aware of it. I was only 20-21 during the change to 3e, and I notice that I look at things differently now - no offense to the early 20's set, but my perspective as I approach 30 really is quite a bit different than what I had at 20 (it'll probably be a similar shift in perspective when I reach 40 :) ). My personal theory is that, in the past 10 or so years people have really made the web a part of their lives and have frequently expressed their viewpoints. Not only do they have more practice sharing their views, their views also tend to be more hardened. This hardening is accentuated by the fact that modern internet forums allow for quick and easy dissemination of ideas. So I chalk it up to people have more practice expressing and strengthening their viewpoints. [/QUOTE]
