Were you a 3.x hater when it was announced and are glad you made the switch?

[QUOTE="Valiant, post: 3721280, member: 54792"] Greetings. You didn't have an option for my experiance, so I didn't vote. :\ I hadn't played D&D since about 84' (left after the sillyness of Dragonlance became the norm and 2E popped its ugly head). When WOTC first launched 3E I flipped the pages, liked it, purchased all the books and played. Then I realized very gradually all of its malignant problems (skills and feats bloat, loss of the archetypes, roling to determine anything, long prep work, difficult to run combat, too much record keeping etc. etc.) and no longer liked it. So, 2 years ago I broke out the old books we started playing 1E, haven't looked back since. Anyhow, to each there own, but it would have been nice if you included an option: Liked 3E at first, hated it later. I think the majority of people that don't like 3E gave it a shot and tried to like it before hating it (at least that was my experiance). [/QUOTE]
