[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 4057450, member: 2205"] I honestly don't think anyone's pursuing a "your edition suxx0rz" marketing strategy. They're simply highlighting the fact that they think they've provided some nifty solutions to problems that they saw. :shrug: I didn't think it was any secret that the 3.5 rules had a few wonky aspects to them. The fact that they seemed to do a pretty good job of identifying what I thought were problems with the rules actually gave me some initial enthusiasm. Subsequent preview material have indicated to me that not all the solutions are going to be to my taste, and simply identifying problems correctly while not necessarily fixing them to my satisfaction isn't going to cut it for me. I also think that in many ways the design direction was in the [i]opposite[/i] direction I would have gone, so... yeah, my enthusiasm has waned considerably to almost nothing. Feeling touchy or getting offended or personally insulted by the fact that the designers think they've made improvements to the game doesn't make any sense to me. If they didn't think that, how else could they justify trying to foist a new edition on the customers? Of course they think they've improved the game. It wouldn't make any sense if they didn't believe that. [/QUOTE]
