[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4135095, member: 5202"] I feel compelled to remind that ENWorld is NOT a representative slice of the gaming public. Most gamers don't read boards like ENWorld, I know plenty who still don't even have the internet at home. I don't see how Paizo is going to be pulling hordes of gamers away from 4E, esp when the rules currently show significant power creep over 3.5, requiring lots of tweaking to make encounters and such from all the old 3.5 material people have function at a proper CR level. Let's say that 80% of all current 3.X gamers move on to 4E. That leaves 20% who either quit gaming, stay with 3.X, transition to other games entirely, switchover to Paizo's Pathfinder RPG. I just don't get what's so compelling about their setting. Considering the number of gamers you hear who refuse to buy anything non-WotC, those people won't buy Paizo, even if they do stay 3.5.
