[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 3919324, member: 40961"] Its not more complicated. Look, WOTC said they'd make the game less complicated. This means that if your goal is to trash WOTC, one way to do it is to police every release they make for anything new that must be tracked, calculated, or remembered, then accuse WOTC of going back on their word. Its a nice, content free way of complaining. Of course its not a very useful one, because WOTC didn't say "we will make every last aspect of the game, every monster, every rules system, and every character class, less complicated." They said the game, presumably as a whole, would be less complicated. But if you reword their statements into a straw version of themselves, you can pick at them. Its analogous to what the press does to politicians. Rather than discuss whether the politician's words make any sense, they discuss whether the politician's words are the same as their words 10 years ago. The former requires expertise, while the latter just requires going, "GOTCHA!" Expertise is hard. Gotcha is easy. [/QUOTE]
