[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 4022958, member: 704"] I think it is because the most vocal 4th Ed critics tend to display some pretty poor habits within the way they voice their complaints. This is not to say that the pro 4th edition people do not do the same on occasion, but it seems that the critics are doing so more often. (I admit that this is just my own view based on what I have observed). There are two things that I tend to associate with the anti-4th posters. The first is an overuse of the "It is like World of Warcraft" arguement without clearly saying why that is a bad thing. The second is in making non constructive and off topic comments in threads making theories about how 4th edition will do things, such as "How do you think X will work given Y information?" getting a response of "It will suck because its like world of warcraft". There are plenty of concerns about 4th edition that are valid, such as mechanical rules intruding onto elements of story, like the change to how rings work. Or that 4th edition is coming out too soon, especially considering that a 3.5 edition was released. But comments that are questioning WotC's motives should probably not show up in a debate about some new tidbit regarding the Marshal. And those kind of derails do seem to be made more by anti-4th people than pro-4th people. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
