[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8210214, member: 18"] Your entire argument here reeks of snobbery and "Well it didn't meet my high standards so it sucked for everyone!". You sneer at "feature not a bug", but it's true. It is whether you like that or not. You were too good for the setting? You sneered at it? (and whilst this post is toned down and only sneering a bit - "sophistry" - /rolleyes, your previous posts were outright sneering). Well guess what, that happens! I've been too good for things too. I'm far too good for Harry Potter. I sneered at it (I read to the fourth book before deciding the whole thing was ghastly) - I still do! Didn't stop it being massively popular, did it? Didn't mean that it was "done wrong", despite it being about as shallow as a pancake. The final point you make is more interesting but also shows a big problem with your suggestion. Philosophers with clubs is a lively and engaging concept that anyone can get into - especially because of broad, shallow, accessible design of the Factions. "Guilds with doctines and ethics" is nerdy nonsense that most players are going to bounce the hell off. If you like Ravnica so much, [I]you already have Ravnica at home[/I], but guess what? It's not very popular, and there's a lot of reasons for that. Some of them being that it's not a very accessible or engaging setting. We've had this discussion before on these forums, and it looks like there brief burst of popularity when it came out, and every year afterwards, fewer and fewer people play it, or even mention it.
