[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 5057381, member: 46713"] No, my point was the exact opposite: The thread would have been fine and on safe territory if nobody had started comparing 3e and 4e rules, basically saying 'this was super-great in 3e and it totally sucks in 4e'. That's when the edition war machinery starts to roll. If someone says: '4e economy sucks', I'll be inclined to agree. If someone says '4e economy sucks but 3e economy was great', I'll disagree and argue till the cows come home (or the mods close the thread). Imho, you have to judge the system on its own merits. Just pretend it was a completely new rpg system (which it basically is*). Note, that I'll _also_ disagree and argue till the cows come home if someone said '3e economy sucked but 4e economy is great', because that's just not true, either. *: Oh, dear! I guess, that's also been hotly debated... apparently it's quite difficult to avoid edition-war-fodder completely :( [/QUOTE]
