[QUOTE="Swarmkeeper, post: 8125996, member: 6921763"] Maybe - I (like to) think it is a few loud voices griping about their pet peeves really. For some people that presumably don't like 5e, they love to talk about 5e quite a lot. I'm not sure why, but somewhere underneath the vitriol there seems to be some kind of desire to engage with the game. If it were so repulsive, why not just move on to discuss a game that excites them? The majority here, I feel, really enjoy playing but do find little things that bug them. Which is always interesting to consider when running/playing the game at your table: is this something that actually bugs me too? Do I want to change that at my table or not? Then we can experiment to see if it is fun to tweak... or not. But I'm with you - when a thread is hijacked by apparent edition hate, it becomes less palatable to me, too, and harder to scroll to the voices that have something truly constructive to say. Maybe - I've only been on here for 1/2 the time that 5e has been released but I don't think people were holding back 3 years ago, either. Maybe - I'm sure WotC is also well aware that after 6 years, the PHB, DMG, and MM are #31, #49, and #60 respectively on the Amazon Science Fiction & Fantasy Best Sellers list, for what that's worth.
