Message: <blockquote data-quote="ShinHakkaider" data-source="post: 4820205" data-attributes="member: 9213">This is also true. I know that I was willing to give 4E a chance even after in previews I saw a few things that I didn't particularly care for. I gave the game a chance, never playing as a player, but I have run a few sessions of it and decided that it's not the game for me. There's also the fact that Paizo is the only company out there really supporting the 3.5 ruleset. There have been a significant amount of posters here who could be considered hostile to 3.5 fans as well. More than a few posters have touted the excellence of 4E by bashing 3.5 or saying thing like "I'll never go back to THAT  system" or "THAT system is for powergaming munchkins" (paraphrasing here). You can praise 4E without bashing what came before, just like I can simply say that 4E is not my thing without saying that it's an MMO on paper or some such garbage. Also I think that the Pathfinder / 3.5 crowd is very defensive honestly because Paizo IS the only company supporting their game. WOTC is the big dog and anyone playing 4E has MASSIVE amounts of support from WOTC alone not to mention Goodman Games and other 3rd party companies. When  a 4E fan turns and starts crapping all over Paizo or starts insisting that Paizo support 4E, it REALLY rubs Pathfinder supporters the wrong way, because some people may feel that 4E people have all the support that they need and they're trying to actively KILL the only other support that 3.5 players have out of pure SPITE. Irrational? Yes. But it is a valid concern.Anyone who still wants to use Pathfinder materials for 4E can still do so with conversion. Apparently there are people out there doing just that. My feeling is that if Paizo started doing 4E material it would be the beginning of the end for 3.5 support and would effectively kill our game of choice. And I honestly think a lot of us dont want that.</blockquote>
