It is my opinion that range was limited by design so that all action could fit on a computer monitor.As I said many times earlier, I like 4.0E. But I see those two negatives as video game derived.Note: When people who are not WoW players compare 4.0E to WoW, they are likely categorizing all video games into one, using the name of the one they heard of most and demonizing it. In a similar manner, some non role players categorize all RPG as D&D.</blockquote>
