[QUOTE="Gloombunny, post: 3813187, member: 54916"] a) Because Exalted sucks. Well, I shouldn't try to make a statement like that sound objective. Because I hate Exalted's mechanics and wouldn't play it if you paid me. (Well, ok, then I would, but it would have to be a substantial payment, not just covering my share of the pizza or something.) b) Because I don't want Exalted, with or without its crappy mechanics. I want D&D. What you are failing to understand here is that your opinion of what makes D&D D&D is not objective immutable fact. To me, stuff like warlocks and warblades capture the essence of D&D but do it in a way that's much more fun to play than anything AD&D had to offer. edit: Of course, my opinion of what constitutes the essence of D&D isn't objective fact either. But just because the current trademark holders are leaning more towards my opinion than yours doesn't mean they're missing the point of the game or selling out to get new customers or anything like that. It just means that they don't happen to agree with you on this issue. [/QUOTE]
