[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5927909, member: 59506"] I Agree 100% SkidAce!:D I'm amazed that people don't see the irony in telling people to just try another game, or say that D&D shouldn't have to cater to our ideas. The irony is in that while they say it shouldn't cater to us, they most definitely want it to not change so it can continue catering to them...:erm: The truly foolish part of that logic is that it [I]can[/I] do both. But they're so afraid of losing what they like they'd rather say to hell with anyone elses desires. It's as if they absolutely do not care that the D&D fan base has fractured so much as to put the continued publication of D&D in jeopardy. "Catering" to other ideas is the only road for success going forward. People may as well start "dealing" with this now. Maintain these illogical positions and fears all one wants, but in the end, the game is going to change. It's inevitable. All railing against these changes is going to do is stress and upset oneself unduly. Instead, embracing this inevitability, and being part of the process so one's voice is heard and your vision realized/maintained, is the only logical course. In other words, be more vocal about what one [I]does[/I] want, rather than about what one doesn't want. It's really that simple. B-) [/QUOTE]
