I originally had high hopes for Pathfinder, but now it looks like I am going to have keep playing a very similar early edition, because the changes are all terrible.
I don't like the way the the designers made changes just because it's what everyone in the playtest was asking for. So it is with great sadness that I must board the White Ships and sail for the West.
I know it will be miserable without my incisive observations on why everyone must play the game just as I do, but it was your mistake to show enthusiasm for a something that is plainly a personal insult to the class/race I love most.
Goodbye, cruel forum!
(EDIT - I don't want to mock a single poster, but I have seen a lot of this type of thread come and go, and I expect to see more, so I'm blowing off some steam without direct confrontation... sorry dudes)
[sarcasm]I know, right? What's next? Are they going to tell me how to pronounce Drow? If Pathfinder pronounces it Drow and not Drow, then I'm spending my money somewhere else![/sarcasm]
Sorry, but I just plain don't like threads like this. While theres plenty of reason to mock posts which provide unrealistic expectations, simply making your own thread to complain, in my eyes, just puts you on the same level.
You don't have to be here for long to see that it also applies the other way, I've seen plenty of claims regarding this and that completely thrown out the window, even if they were legit and came as a result of playtesting.
I'm not saying you can't like other peoples opinions (not everyone is going to agree after all) or that you shouldn't dislike those unrealistic expectations, but can you really say you're much better if you make threads simply to complain like they do?

Gee Nero you just haven't been the same since your son went crazy in world war V

Oh, I'm no better.
I'm exactly the same actually.
I'm just jealous because I find nothing to complain about. Why should the detractors have all the fun?
Let me put it this way: I have no expectation the the "Dear Pathfinder, I'm leaving you" letters will ever stop. And I don't think that they should be stopped. I also think they're silly, but I'm not going to deride people's personal heartfelt explanations in their own thread — I'd rather talk about the commonality of these breakup letters in a thread all its own.
Without begrudging the posters their dislike of the game, it's a really freaking weird thing to post. It's tantamount to the way kids make and break "clubs" on the playground. We're losing sight of the fact that it's simply a book that a company has chosen to publish that is as flawed as any other such product, depending on your preferences.
That it's facetious is just because I'm some d*&k on a forum.
You ordered a hundred gallons of Throwing Oil? Should I put them within point blank distance of yonder fire?
Meh. Won't be a single game of Pathfinder played without a house rule somewhere. Even by people who like the final.
He's got a point though, why write a Dear John letter to a stranger except to try and make them feel that they lost something? I think the OP was referring to that passive-aggressive display more than the fact that some people disagree.
It took you five???
Jeepers, you're slow on the uptake, aren't you?
Yuck, too crunchy! Almost hurts my armored tongue...

He didn't go crazy, he was the only one there that was sane dammit!
He's fine now, and once we find a cure for 27 bullets in the head we'll be thrawing him out.

I am still playing the 1890's edition "brown paper" edition that Gary & Dave put together while stuck back then after the Time Machine accident.
Despite the fact that it relies upon a time paradox, it is sill the only true version of D&D to me. What can beat a System playtested by Tesla and Edison?
