[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 5506770, member: 11300"] Hello Dannager and ProfessorCirno, Too true! That disgraceful thread is certainly in the lead for troll of the year. However, you both spent enough time (and I assume enjoyed) poking sticks at the caged troll for the duration of that thread. As soon as I reported it the thread was closed. Who is worse, the troll or the ones that feed it? Never say never. :D I just posted on the "How did 4e take simulation away from D&D?" thread [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/5506721-post276.html]here[/url]. While the OP is quite misguided in his post, I think I gave a reasonable list of "flaws" as you mention it. Like most things though, they will be flaws for some and benefits for others. I think if the designers made a design mistake in 4e, it was swinging that gamist pendulum a little too far for a good section of their customer base. Some loved it; some hated it. Thus was the D&D community polarized and rent. At least there are some of us who can happily play both without their "eyeballs bleeding", so to speak. ;) In essence and in reference to some of the posts upthread, I think that Wizards can get many of the lapsed fans back with a new edition that tried to genuinely unite the fans again. Do they have the capacity to do this? I hope so. Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
