[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 1067429, member: 957"] Hmm, silly me. I've been basing my opinions on my own preferences all this time. Nobody ever told me I needed the collective's approval before I was allowed an opinion. That said, I further disagree with your premise. Several defences of AU have involved talking about how people react to products in general. This seems to be because the specifics of the AU case do not serve the position as well as generalities do. Specifically for this case in point, AU was strongly advertised as being highly compatible. So the everything does not need to be completely compatible arguement is irrelevant. Customers have a right to assume that everything that is advertised as being compatible will be. There are lots of cool things in AU. And I may use some pieces of it in my game. But, had I had a better understanding I would have spent my $30 on different products that would have contributed more to my game. AU appears to be a very cool game. I have no doubt that many people will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. But I am not in the market for a new game. I want to play D&D. I am disappointed that AU will not do that to the extent I was lead to believe. I do not think Monte or anyone (Council of Magisters, etc..) lied to me. Quite the contrary I would take strong issue with anyone who claimed that they did. I do however think they were simply wrong. And if anyone thinks I shouldn't feel free to express a disappointment there, well, that is why I'm not required to get your permission. [/QUOTE]
