[QUOTE="rounser, post: 6003334, member: 1106"] Why is it such a sin to not even want to try 4E? There are games that I know to be flawed that I'd still love to play. They look like fun, and draw you in with strong themes despite the flaws. The converse is also true - probably what drove a lot of people to write off 4E without playing it is that what they saw did not draw them in, but rather promised frustration and annoyance with the directions chosen rather than fun. And if you think existing D&D players were obliged to try it out of brand loyalty to D&D, then maybe 4E was such a departure from what people recognized or expected to be D&D that it was identification with D&D as they knew it that led them to ignore 4E.
