[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 5263801, member: 7635"] I know its hard to believe that people have experiences that differ from yours, but its okay, we're all different. I get sick on rollercoasters, my best friend loves them. We both tried them and had differing opinions on their outcome. Some people look at a piece of art and see an expression of man's place in the dystopic modern world; others see a black dot on a white canvas. Its okay, both are valid opinions. I don't get how anyone could EVER play AD&D 1st edition with its screwed up initiative system, ridiculous level limits, and some of the most broken rules available (hello psionics!) but I understand why some people refuse to play anything but. Two people can come to any experience and leave with different opinions of what took place. This is true about games, art, or rollercoasters. But to belittle someone for having a differing opinion, or to assume the person is lying, stupid or unworthy of recognition because they disagree is a height of arrogance I usually only see reserved for Politics and Religion (and D&D is neither). I suggest taking a breath and realize what, exactly, you are fighting about. Yes, I include myself in that time-out. The beauty of Essentials is that is sounds like WotC is addressing the issue of differing experience and granting some of us disenfranchised players a new way to approach 4e; the Knight (so far) sounds much more up my alley than any of the previous defenders so far. Depending on how good these books are, I might actually be tempted to run a 4e game; just to see if the changes fix many of my problems. We had different experiences, that doesn't make us wrong.
