Negative opinions of a previous edition are not very good grounds for saying the next edition is taking a step backwards if it uses something that a previous edition used.  If you want to say that then every edition is a step backwards because they all use some kind of element from previous editions.  The end result is where you lay the final judgement.  Let's say Wizards of the Coast made more money with 3rd edition than with 4th edition.  You could say that 4th edition was a step backwards because at the end of the day it is about sales and about what the majority of people want.  If a company puts out product A then a few years later put out product B with less people buying it then they have taken a step backwards.  You really can't say that one edition plays better than the other.  Sure it may play better to you as an individual but that's all just opinion.  I just want to say Congratulation to Monte Cook and I hope he steers Wizards of the Coast back to where it should be.</blockquote>
