[QUOTE="enrious, post: 5922392, member: 2126"] A couple of things strike me. 1) I am not my brother's keeper. Under no circumstances would I even bother asking if the people in my local group signed up for the playtest and since the usual standard is for a couple of people to have read rules and a couple to just wing it even with games where we all have rules, I doubt I'd notice if some people hadn't signed up/downloaded the playtest. Busy lives and all that. 2) I think we as a group were predisposed to do things "right" - sign up, playtest, provide feed back, ???, profit. I know that I will now never provide feedback to Wizards for this as this is precisely the sort of thing that caused me to leave Wizards for the loving embrace of one of their competitors. 3) There is a difference between being in the right and doing the right thing. Case in point, recently there was an airline that contains a provision refusing ticket refunds unless a passenger purchases ticket insurance. A war veteran with terminal cancer was denied flight at the last minute by his doctor and asked that the ticket he purchased to travel to be with his daughter during a surgery she was undergoing was denied by the airline as per that ticket refund policy. Now, the airline was in the right but didn't do the right thing IMO. Wizards appears to me as being in the same boat with how they're handling this playtest. [/QUOTE]
