[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 4049616, member: 56189"] Apologies if this has been asked before but I did try and find a similar thread and couldn't. If it has, then feel free to ignore it :) Another thread in which 4E non-adopters were asked why they still perused this forum interested me and brought up the question of why people won't be adopting the new edition. I get that these reasons have probably been stated in numerous threads, but no single thread collated them all. Given that I'm essentially asking non-adopters of the new edition why they're not interested in it, I'm going to ask ahead of time that everyone keep it civil. There is no intention of sparking fires here, just genuine curiosity. For me, I'm going to be picking up the new edition sight unseen with a pre-order. All the previews have given me significant confidence in the ability of the designers and almost everything I've heard thus far about the changes are positive in my mind. From my perspective, there are a lot of intelligent and creative people putting a lot of thought and effort behind making the new system as fun as possible. The fact that they're actually examining each rule to determine what it brings to the game, positive or negative, and are remaking these rules to either be more fun or easier to use is fantastic in my mind. It seems that there are a vast majority of people who have very similar ideas on what makes a good system and what they dislike about 3.x. And 4E seems to be catering to that by fixing everything most people seem to dislike and making it into what most people think is a good system. So, with that said, and admittedly I think I'm turning into a fanboi due to my excitement and anticipation of the new edition, I find it puzzling why anyone would not want to switch. Therefore I bring this question to you: why won't you switch? [/QUOTE]
