Now I'm a whipper snapper (early 90's kid) compared to most of the people around and when I started playing table top it was late 3.5 early 4E DnD. Got into Shadowrun not long after that and ever since I did I've seen people complaining about some lost complexity. One thing that I see come up time and time again is about how the decks would grow with the hacker or something along those lines. How the decks separated the wage slave computer nerds from real matrix masters. Could someone please explain this to me? I do not have the time to read through an entire edition to find the answer to one question.
