The loudest and most frequent voices hammering WotC are 3.X/Pathfinder preachers doing the same thing they've been doing since Wizards dropped the OGL and moved onto 4E and aggrieved 4E players who see their edition being put out the pasture.Lots of people just want to convince everyone to play their way, to ensure there's more consumers for their play style of game and thus more content to use and a larger pool of potential player.No matter how many modules and adventure paths are sold for Pathfinder it doesn't get the "big dog" treatment of criticism like the D&D franchise does, because nobody seems as invested in trying to tear them down as a vocal minority of 3.X advocates are in making sure there are more and more tables and adventures catering to their their Quadratic Wizards etc. The next runners up are the hold-overs trying to start an international workers' strike until WotC gives them back their buxom female Dragonborn Warlords.And then there are the aggrieved amateur game designers who are cheesed off that they aren't designing Next and the outside-looking-in window that is the Playtest that just goads them on.That's really the crux of the matter, at least as I see behavior on the boards I visit- Marty Lund</blockquote>
