[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7929947, member: 6779196"] Again, that’s far more detailed and precise than what I’m asking for, and in fact I think that level of specificity is likely to invite more argument. When I say “Didn’t feel like [I]what I want out of[/I] D&D,” I mean that literally. I’m not asking folks to explain what they want out of D&D or why they think 4e didn’t deliver on that, and at this point I would frankly rather they didn’t. I’m asking that they say “wasn’t what I want out of D&D” instead of “wasn’t D&D” or “didn’t feel the way I like D&D to feel” instead of “didn’t feel like D&D.” The simple phrase is “it didn’t feel like what I wanted out of D&D.” What’s so difficult about that? I don’t doubt that it isn’t meant to, but it does, implicitly. It would not if you reframed it around your own personal preferences instead of some abstract platonic ideal of “the feel of D&D.” [/QUOTE]
