[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8917642, member: 67338"] in 1997 my 2e group was afraid that wotc was going to turn wizards into druids 'tapping land' and sell magic items as cards instead of compendiums... in 1999 I had friends who said they were playing "The real 3e" useing skills and powers spells and magic and combat and tactics in 2003 I had friends leave D&D behind because "3.5 is nothing but a money grab, just make it errata" in 2008 my (at this point half the size of the 1997 and about 2/3 the size of the 2003 group) split almost in half between 4e and pathfinder... both had not nice things to say about the other. in 2001 we found new players that had never heard of thac0 in 2005 we found new players that had never known haste to allow 2 spells per round in 2009 we found new players that had never seen a LFQW the kids are ALWAYS the future, and we can adapt or be left behind... and I just took a count with FB friends... I know people playing every single edition of this game starting with AD&D 1e, until now including both versions of PF as a 'spin off'. And every one of those groups has at least 1 member that will tell you that THE edition they are playing is the only REAL edition of the game. I have players/DMs I am close with (including the guy that took over DMing after my last game fizzeled) that can honestly say the first time they heard of D&D, the first book they picked up had feats in it... and for those of you not as old as me, those didn't exsisit in 1999.
