[QUOTE="Edgewood, post: 4278036, member: 20132"] Agreed, 3e has problems, just as time will show that 4e has problems, etc, etc, ad infiniteum. But [U]I feel[/U] that the change to 4e has a different motivation. it follows the business model that WotC always follows; the idea that as soon as the line begins to show a slump in sales it brings out a new edition (which is not a bad thing mind you, they have to make money). I feel that when 3e came out, it was to revitalize a dying and neglected product, correct the mistakes that TSR made, and of course, the driving force of all business, to make money. The release of 4e, IMO seems to be driven by the latter reason only. Judging from the amount of people in these forums and on others I frequent who refuse to make the switch, I don't see 3e as neither suffering from being a dying and neglected game nor having so many mistakes that required correcting. Did 2e have enough wrong with it to justify a new edition to 3e? Does 3e have enough wrong with it to justify a new edition to 4e? I think that the reasons for the changes have different motivations. To me, the change from 2e to 3e was needed to jump start the hobby. the change from 3e to 4e....well I think it's just to jump start WotC's bottom line. [/QUOTE]
