[QUOTE="Wolfspider, post: 4030710, member: 300"] Even though you peppered your response with vague insults, you do an excellent job of refuting the common arguments used that D&D 4e is becoming more like an MMORPG. At this point, unfortunately, you abandon all reason and become quite condescending, which is a shame, because I would have liked to have heard what your mind had to say about these complaints rather than your disdain. As far as the tiefling/draenie issue goes, let me help you understand the complaint. In previous editions of D&D, tieflings did not have a uniform appearance. Some had horns, some had tails, some were mostly human-looking. In D&D 4e, tieflings have been given a uniform appearance, with ram-like horns and long tails. You can see an example of the new tiefling here: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UqFPujRZWo[/url] (Try not to let the hilarious gnome distract you from the issue at hand, which is the sexy tiefling chick.) Now this is an example of the draenie from World of Warcraft: [url]http://www.wowwiki.com/images/d/d1/Draenie_copy.jpg[/url] Granted, this fine specimen doesn't have a long tail, but the shape of the horns is very similar to that of the new tiefling. Actually, I think the draenei in that pic would make a pretty cool tiefling. :D Let me admit that I am not emotionally involved in this issue, since I don't play WoW or MMORPGs and I have plenty of other reasons not to want to play D&D 4e at this point, but even in my ignorance I can understand why some people might say there is an influence here. After all, popular things do influence other popular things. It doesn't seem an unreasonable argument to me.... [/QUOTE]
