[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4925669, member: 66434"] I haven't played any 4E beyond the heroic tier level. I do play WOW and have a level 80 toon. I see some similarities in the combat mechanics and the disenchanting of magic items into components is very WOW like. Overall play experience isn't the same though because of the DM factor. In WOW you can play on several different servers (campaigns) and the play experience will be the same. Different DM's can make playing two different games of D&D vastly different experiences. To date, I have not run a 4E game. I plan on starting one fairly soon. This will be the test that makes or breaks the system for me. If I can run the game I want without the system getting in the way, then I will keep using it. I was never really into the character building mini-game of 3E, so the simplicity of character options doesn't bother me (especially as a DM :D). I was (and still am) happy just rolling stats, picking a class, buying equipment and getting to the meat of the game. [/QUOTE]
