It's tiresome to see the same handful of refuted arguments on why 4e sucks repeated over and over again by people who don't actually know enough about the system to have any real complaints.It's just unfortunate that there are gamers out there that take the above "WotC kicked my puppy and I hate them for it" position. Not only are they setting themselves against a game they otherwise might enjoy, but they're choosing to see the company as evil or antagonistic for having to make difficult business decisions (like the decision to drop print magazines in the face of the death of print periodicals, or the decision to produce a new edition in order to provide them the revenue they need to continue making new D&D products). It's not like these are uniquely diabolical actions on the part of WotC. They're simply decisions that companies must make, and it's frankly silly to hate a company for doing something they consider necessary, especially if you can't come up with a good reason for why it wasn't necessary.Now, the real fly in the ointment, as far as this topic is concerned, is that a lot of these gamers have taken to Paizo like they once took to WotC. That's great for Paizo, but they need to understand that the way these gamers react isn't going to change. When Paizo is eventually forced to make a tough call on a well-liked but unprofitable product line, I think they'll start to see that same attitude bubbling up to the surface.</blockquote>
