OD&D and 1E players tend to avoid combat, focusing on exploration and gaining treasure. 2E players tend to focus more on story, with a bit less emphasis on hard coded rules. 3E players tend to focus on "builds" and often believe in RAW as the primary form of play, which I believe to be a product of the emerging commonality of the internet. While I don't have much experience with 4E players, the few I've known seem to enjoy over the top, superheroic, almost anime style gaming.I don't really have much experience with "new" players, i.e. the ones who started with 5E. I've done several one-shots that introduced such players, but they seldom have much expectations going in. None of them came in from CR or other sources, so I don't know how common that really is. I've also not played any longer than that introductory adventure, so I really don't know how they eventually end up in terms of style and preference.</blockquote>
