I recall the division when 3e was at its height between my pro build players and players who wanted more balance. Oddly enough at the time i tended to share the concerns of the balance crowd, but when 4e came out i realized that level of balance wasn't what i was really looking for--i still think 3e had brokenness tgat needed some fixing but 4 e just went too far in tge other direction for my taste.That said you should play the game/edition that brings you the most satisfaction. I dont believe my tastes reflect some kind of objective standard. Nor do i think your characters are any less enjoyable or meaningful for you because you like a balance when it comes to character options. I think d&d is especially in an akward spot because they need to appeal to the broadest possible audience with each edition. But you saw this enormous split develop over balance and builds ( not to mention magic) during 3e ( it looked almost 50-50 on the wizards forum). I don't see how they can appeal to both groups....and with pathfinder firmly established now it may not be worth their effort.</blockquote>
