Okay, but when someone is saying "it's the most combat-oriented," what they're also saying is, "it's the least supportive of anything that isn't combat." Effectively 100% of the time. You won't hear them say the quiet part out loud, but that doesn't mean the quiet part isn't there.Whether the changes 4E made were positive or negative will always be a matter of opinion and preference. Just like whether it was more combat focused was also a matter of perspective.
But we can't really discuss this objectively, it always seems to lead to edition wars. Which is too bad, I think it could be an interesting subject about approaches to the game's structure and what people want. In any case maybe we should just move on?
But yes, perhaps we should.
