[QUOTE="ForeverSlayer, post: 5653900, member: 91812"] It's got nothing to do with bad rules good rules. Some people prefer the rules of football and some people prefer the rules of baseball. To some people, football is boring while baseball is exciting. I don't think you quite understand what NNMS is fully saying. 4th edition rules are what they are, nothing more and nothing less. Being good rules or bad rules are down to personal opinion and not a fact. The way the current rules are does not appeal to him and he wishes for something different. If he likes the old rules then he probably likes the old rules that actually worked and not the parts that didn't. There is nothing wrong with people wanting the old rules, but having them redone to fix what was wrong and still give the same play experience that the old editions gave us minus the problems. 4th edition has nothing to actually compare it to in order to deem it better rules or not. 4th edition rules appeal to some while other RPG's appeal to others. All editions and other RPG all have their flaws as well as 4th edition. 4th edition has a lot of flaws in and of itself. You can't say well 4th edition has this and does it better than 3rd edition because the systems are both totally different. Now you could compare Pathfinder to 3rd edition but each system has it's own unique set of perks and it's own set of flaws. [/QUOTE]
