[QUOTE="Gryffyn, post: 4035419, member: 37807"] I only have personal anecdotal evidence to go on, but I was curious about this recently. My own 3.x D&D group has a number of people who also play in other 3.x groups. I asked each of them how their other groups were looking at the new edition. I also polled a friend who lives across the country and plays in a large group. Altogether, total of about 35-40 players, and not a single one is at all inclined to switch to 4e. Most of these players don't hang out on Internet message boards. I was quite shocked by this, because I know quite a few of these people have the "ooh shiny" syndrome. If anything, they're the ones who are the most unhappy about the changes! I also suspect at least half of these folks will end up buying the 4e rules, if not playing them. ;) I don't mean to imply anything about the D&D market as a whole from this, but it shows that who you know can skew the results, or something.
