[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9414629, member: 6801228"] False analogy. If I tell you that I'm bringing apple slices to the potluck like I do every year, but I'm also bringing brownies, then you can't claim I'm not really bringing apple slices just because everyone will want the brownies and won't eat the apple slices. I brought them, I said I would bring them, it is your choice to eat them or not. You can mix old with new. There is no barrier to doing so. It doesn't matter that the new stuff is stronger, because you can still mix the old with the new, exactly like they said. They aren't liars just because people will want to play the fixed version of the characters. They constantly said they were improving the classes, making them better than ever. They never once said that there is no way you will want to use the old version, they never once said anything about the old version except that you can still use it if you want to. Which is 100% true. If you keep looking at 2024 and thinking "there is no way I would ever want to use a 2014 version of this" then... they did a great job? There is literally nothing wrong with that at all. It doesn't break their promise in the slightest. Because all they promised was that you COULD use the old version. And you can. And many people WILL, because they HATE the 2024 versions of the rules. I have a player who is currently taking the stance that they will never play a 2024 paladin and will only play a 2014 paladin. And they can. It will still work. I think they are making a poor choice, but it IS a choice. [/QUOTE]
