[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5041626, member: 18280"] How so? What quotes, exactly, make you think that? I could say, rather, that you are demonizing 1e. I could example quotes like One might wonder why you cannot simply state that you dislike something without trying to prove it to be objectively bad. One might also wonder [i][b]why[/b][/i][b][/b] the things on your list are supposed to be "crazy nonsensical rubbish". A bit too onetruewayish for me, I guess. Perhaps you wil explain more clearly? I am seriously contending that your evidence that 4e had more playtesting does not constitute evidence that 4e had more playtesting. Which is what I said. I thought I was clear. Ad Hominem Something that, by the evidenciary standards you asked us to accept re: 4e and 1e, I coud easily claim to be playtested more than both of them put together. But I would not, because (1) such a claim would be false, and (2) the means by which I would thereby be making such a claim would not constitute evidence. It is used merely as an example of how easy it is to mislead on the basis of such a list, either intentionally or not. Glad you found something you like! But liking 4e doesn't (rationally) imply that 1e was not designed for balance. RC [/QUOTE]
