[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8741297, member: 7006"] Heh heh... well, not to put words in [USER=6747251]@Micah Sweet[/USER] 's mouth... but plenty of times I see people post that talk about how they refuse to even consider 3PP products because they just dismiss out of hand the possibility that 3PP have actually been playtested and balanced. So while people may not be outright insulting... dismissive is the word I might choose-- as though the idea that independent designers have actual brains and can make quality product is impossible and that the only people who can make balanced D&D material is Wizards of the Coast. When you couple that with the fact that those same people will often then get rather crabby that WotC isn't actually producing the material they specifically want nor do they think they should have make their own fixes or product to get what they want because "Why should I do WotC's job for them?!?"... we're left with a perpetual cycle of invectives here on the boards.
