[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8515321, member: 6855114"] Of course. When DnD next started. WotC made us participate in the creation of 5ed. They collected data and that way of doing thing was rejected with a surprising majority. They asked us what we wanted in 5ed. They made us playtest ideas. They made us answer their survey on what was good and what was not. Did all my ideas passed on 5ed, of course not. Not everything was to the taste of the majority. But at least, what made it through the process was what the majority could agree upon. In here, humanoids conforms to humanoids. Not bad isn't it? With this change in how foes are now build, they directly go against all the playtests we've been through. They go against all the play tests showed them, their collected data and the philosophy behind the DnD Next. If they want to make a 6th edition with these changes, I will not mind at all. In fact, I would welcome them. It would be a new edition after all. But this is fifth edition. The edition that has been voted upon by thousands of players all around the globe. To change the philosophy that much is simply a treason. Period. It started with TCoE and now these. If the developers are ready for the 6ed, then let them go! Make the 6ed and right now. But leave the 5ed as it is. This is the edition we wanted (or at least, what the majority of the time wanted, I happened to be among those). But you know what? They will not release their 6ed because they are affraid that people will not follow. So they are slowly changing the 5ed to what they want (whatever that is). This throw back to 4ed is not what I/we (the surveyed) wanted. Make 6ed and be done with it, I say. We'll see how successful it will be. [/QUOTE]
