[QUOTE="Kaisoku, post: 4280365, member: 58447"] It's not meant to be rude, sorry if it came across that way. What I mean is that the changes in the game seem to be moving away from the style and feel of the previous editions of table-top. The DDI push, the change in design from simulation to gamism, etc. It's not a "bad" way of playing, but it will move away from the style of gaming that 3e fostered for nearly a decade, and that many people have been playing (wether the rules were indicative of this kind of gaming or not) for much longer still. This style of gaming will not be kept alive by the new demographic and new style of game design that 4e is moving towards. Will the new demographic of gamer be good for the life of the tabletop RPG "in it's current incarnation" is perhaps what I was implying, and should have said. Just to be clear, I'm not saying anything is badwrongfun. I play WoW myself, because it scratches a particular itch I've developped since the original Diablo days. But if I can keep the simulationist design focus of 3e in my table top gaming, I will be a happy camper.. because that's a big itch that I would hate to see unscratched in the future. [/QUOTE]
