For me 4E is a barren era of D&D that has caused me to leave . Maybe for some this is a golden era, but I consider 4E the edition that split the D&D community as it has never been split before, and that cannot even be argued by those that enjoy 4E.In my opinion if 4E were such a great product, it wouldn't have splintered the D&D community as it has done. 3E strengthened the D&D community, 4E has weakened it.I'm a 25 year plus D&D player. My entire group has been playing D&D since we were in our early teens through all its iterations. We have completely stopped buying or following D&D since 4E came out. I know my group is not the only one to do so. I spent thousands of dollars on 3E. I spent enough to buy the core rulebook on 4E. Maybe 4E brought in more new players than it lost. I don't know. I'd love to see a study done to show how it affected the RPG community. To me 4E is the worst iteration of D&D and I pray to the RPG gods that someone with more creativity as well as respect for the game gets ahold of D&D for its next edition so we might see a new golden era of D&D.</blockquote>
