[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9743991, member: 6790260"] But "plenty of people [opposed it]" is precisely the standard you're complaining about if you dislike the hyperbland sorcerer and not-meaningfully-differentiated warlock. "Plenty of people" is LITERALLY why those things ended up the way they did. They failed to hit a certain minimum approval rating right out the gate, and were thus canned instantly. "Plenty of people" specifically demanded only the most milquetoast flavor, because anything even remotely spicier was upsetting, alien, [I]different[/I], and thus had to be eliminated. 5e was built from the ground up on this principle. If you are questioning it [I]only now,[/I] I am choosing the charitable interpretation: that this was always a problem, and thus 5th Edition D&D was always a problem, because this was baked into its DNA from the moment it was announced. I would rather not consider a less charitable interpretation. [/QUOTE]
