I never liked 2nd Edition, and didn't play for over a decade, and by the time I started again, they were on 3.5 Ed and the rules just looked stupid to me. 4th ed didn't impress me, and 5th ed seems better, but still the problem I have is that people don't have to earn anything anymore, it seems. I use rules I created to fix the problems with 1E, which I am told makes my rules similar to 5E in a lot of ways. I never really got far learning 5E rules, since they seem a lot more complicated than necessary for no good reason, and there's that "you don't have to earn anything anymore" thing. I like a challenge, and I like to keep it focused on flowing story and game immersion. Maybe I just don't know enough about 5E yet, but I don't have much time to run a game or play or even read rule books, so mostly I just run the rules I have developed when I DM, and I don't play much anymore because I don't feel like I have time to learn a new set of rules.
Yeah we are playing 3.5E since thats the one our DM is familliair with but we are also thinking on turning our next campaign (who knows when that may happen or if at all) in 5E.
It's also nice that our DM is not that strict on having specific items in order to cast magic (cause im not gonna lie I'm horrible at keeping my bag in check xD) and not to mention the nice homebrew stuff i love it
