[QUOTE="JLXC, post: 3980382, member: 2663"] 1. Everyone has special abilities to use in combat. Every class is already unique, and each has their own uses. Every single character having an endless supply of gimicks gets silly and time consuming. I thought Feats did a good job of differentiating characters, but that's 3.x. 2. Azeroth is a deep and interesting world. This one had my LOL. Are you kidding me? 4.0 is a money grab, if you think there will not be dozens of books on every single aspect of many different campaigns you're kidding yourself. They can't WAIT to splat out non-core books by the dozen, just give it time, the flood will come. 3. Instant action. This ALWAYS depends on the players. How familiar are they with the rules? How much do they feel like metagaming? How many 'lete uber powers and items do they have to slog through to figure out what to do. Even in the days of limited options combat was only as fast as the slowest player. 4. PvP. Wow, and not WoW. If you want PvP play an evil campaign. These kinds of things can be done in small doses, and that's about it. The joy of building a character over a long time and then watching it go down in flames as someone cheers your loss is something best over the internet, and NOT in RPG. You want fist fights and/or loss of players? This idea is frankly stupid. 5. WoW is easy. Computer games, video games in general, are easier because you don't have to learn any of the in depth rules, more just What to do. RPG will never, ever be as simple as a computer game. That makes me happy. 6. People can do what they want to. Why have any rules at all? Just give yourself invincible everything and call yourself the ruler of the universe already. 7. Phat lewt. This all depends on the DM, and not the rules. Rules are just a framework and if your DM is a tightwad there's no hope anyways. I've always been generous with items, why not? I'm the DM and I can overpower anything I hand out. Unlimited resources vs. players = Win. If you have a problem with not getting any "phat lewt" your DM is probably a tight wad. [/QUOTE]
