[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8727495, member: 6877472"] At least on ENWorld, I agree, outright derisive statements are rarer, usually it's just a "I don't like 4e because of X", where X is usually not 100% accurate. Now if you went to, say, the Giant in the Playground forums or (shudders) Reddit, it's a whole different kettle of fish. The way I see it, people who didn't want or ask for 4e are perfectly justified to a point with their scorn (I was once part of this group) and people who liked or wanted more improvements for 4e are equally justified. And if you have legit complaints, like skill challenges being kind of meh, or support for anything that isn't combat being all but nonexistent, or even just not liking the idea of encounter powers (or daily powers on non-casters), or the idea that until you run out of healing surges, you can keep adventuring as long as you get a mandated 5 minute rest between fights- by all means, rant away. It's when you see people parroting comments like "4e was an MMO" or "every class was exactly the same" that usually make me want to clarify the point. However, since that just seems to add fuel to the fire, I realize I'm going to have to stop doing that, lol. [/QUOTE]
