[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 4979562, member: 11300"] I agree that the interwebs can bring out the worst and best in people, and certainly each new edition has been scrutinized mercilessly regardless of the internet. However, there are so many examples of polarization from third party support (and if you will the very existence of Pathfinder regardless of its future success or otherwise) to the anecdotal experiences of so many and in particular for me, my gaming group (three including myself like it - I will keep my DDI subscription for 4e lifespan - but three think it is a complete regression and disappointment). The whole edition wars thing is testament to this polarization, regardless of how much technology may have amplified this or not. It's still early days (a quarter to a fifth of its likely lifespan) but my prediction is that it has and will polarize players like no other edition that has gone before it and possibly even after it. See you in another thirty years over some of your nice German beer (I am an Aussie after all) and we'll reminisce. :) Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
