[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 8551214, member: 6795602"] IMO, 4e being a part of the discussion isn't what was problematic. It was comments from both sides such as "4e failed" or "people disliked 4e because of presentation despite those people not actually saying or agreeing with that" that were the problem. What does unfairly maligned mean? IMO it means that you feel people either incorrectly or invalidly criticized 4e. Personally, I think that's a weak position in this case, yet despite that it's a valid belief. But, IMO it's a belief that is only ever going to lead to the fractiousness you referenced earlier because the belief rests on dismissing other peoples stated criticisms. If one disliked certain aspects of 4e that 5e moved away from then that idea of 'righting the wrong' seems understandable. Perhaps a bit too universal of a feeling but still understandable. I think this is important - notice how 5e fans aren't telling you that you are unfairly maligning 5e because of whatever reasons you dislike it. They aren't saying you would like it if it had a more 4e presentation. Maybe. I'd be interested in hearing what you think 6e could do more like 4e that would make it overall better. [/QUOTE]
