[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 4057597, member: 56189"] I think the most substantive difference this time around is sheer numbers. Not only numbers of players but numbers of voices being heard. Sure there were boards around to discuss D&D but none, not even this site, was as massive as it, and others, are now as when 3e was first introduced. I think if you could retroactively survey people about their feelings on 3e before it came out and compared it to a survey now about people's feelings about 4e, that the [I]percentages[/I] of those who were dissatisfied with previous editions and those who were happy with previous editions would be roughly the same. Well, 3.x is eight years old. How long do you expect them to wait? Personally, I'm in the "can't wait" camp and would've liked to have seen this revision sooner, as are a lot of people. This somewhat contradicts your previous statement. If you're upset that they're introducing a new edition then part of that sentiment implies that you're upset you won't be seeing new material for 3.x. But WotC is a company and if they go broke, then you won't be seeing any new material at all. I think certain realities must be accepted, one of them being that WotC needs to make a profit in order to keep producing content. I guess you could say you don't care if they do or do not produce new content, as you're happy with your current material, but then, would've you gotten your current material if WotC hadn't of said, "2e is tired, let's create and market a new system!"?
