[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4553058, member: 18280"] Agreed, but then I am not opening these threads. If there was a thread for folks to discuss "Longswords deal 2d20. I don't like it." without folks coming in to tell them that (a) longswords [I][B]don't[/B][/I] deal 2d20, (b) longswords [B][I]always[/I][/B] dealt 2d20, (c) they are fooling themselves; longswords [B][I]should[/I][/B] deal 2d20, and even (d) they [B][I]really like [/I][/B]longswords dealing 2d20; they just don't know it yet, I suppose there would be less of a problem. Of course, I have noted that, with Schroedinger's Wounding, a number of threads have opened with no apparent purpose but to say that those who believe it is a feature of 4e are kinda stupid. Overall, I guess what I am saying is that (1) there is a thread ignore tool on EN World, and (2) if you don't enjoy discussing moonpies, don't discuss moonpies. Again, have you seen me disrupting [I][B]any[/B][/I] pro-4e discussions since the game came out? Any? There is a reason for that. I will also note that there are some great pro-4e folks who are, apparently, not at all threatened that some don't like their game of choice, and don't go around disrupting anti-4e discussions. Or maybe they are just really smart, and know that [i]the fastest way to make anti-anything threads go away is to not post pro-same thing in them.[/i] Oh, also you missed my point: "X has always had problem Y, Z just makes it worse" is not a very convincing pro-Z argument. Making Y worse isn't good game design, and if you had problem Y when it was less of a problem, Z is unlikely to fix it for you. RC [/QUOTE]
