Every time, man, i wonder if someone trains you people to spout the same regurgitated and especialy unfounded opinions on 4e.
So im not even gonna get into it
Says the man "getting into it."
you are only depriving yourself of an edition that actually made stuff different.
And the vast majority of D&D players, not to mention the *actual* marketplace, have deemed its very particular "differences" worthy of being related to the cesspit of failed RPG systems.
You undercut your arguments by holding it up as a system to be revered or imitated. The case against 4e was litigated a long time ago in a million courts of very public opinion.
4e is the Jar Jar Binks of D&D.
Hang your hat on its merits at your own peril.
