[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5812093, member: 54846"] Yeah, I don't think any sort of un-enforcible pledge is going to fix anything. And part of the edition war that is ignored is, well, [I]defense[/I]. There's a thread on the first page of this forum where the tenor is basically, if you don't like level drain you're a PC-coddling nancy that doesn't like challenging players or games where loss is possible (like 4e which is exemplary of this play), and if you Do like levely drain than... well people don't find them fun. But defending against the first stance would be edition-warry and fighting. But what gets me is that [B]nothing we say on this forum matters[/B]. People are acting like WotC has their eyes glued to every pixel of every thread on this forum. You know what feedback they're paying attention to? [I]Their playtest feedback[/I] and the [I]reactions to their specific articles[/I]. Beyond that, I'd wager 90% of what is talked about on this forum has already been decided upon. I guarantee you that WotC has heard your complaints twelve times over, especially considering how they have been looking at 5e since [I]a year and a half after 4e came out[/I]; I'm sure they know exactly how much people hate 4e and all the myriad reasons why. Therefore all of this speculation and arguing is for our "benefit", and it boils down to wheel spinning and fighting because we have nothing else to do. [/QUOTE]
