You're not being insulted. 3e fans weren't being insulted when 4e came out. 4e fans aren't being insulted now. I was a 3e fan, and I never once felt insulted by the release of 4e. I am a 4e fan and I definitely haven't felt insulted by 5e's build-up. So they certainly weren't insulting the entire 4e or 3e fanbase. There are people who are acting insulted (and I can certainly guess as to why), but that doesn't mean it's actually taking place. WotC is making decisions about the direction they want to take their brand in. That's not an insult to you. They're not flipping you off. They're not kicking your dog. You are not being offended.In fact, choosing to look at these decisions in a way that transforms them into offensive (rather than simply disappointing) actions is actually pretty worrisome. Is that how you go about your life? When someone makes a decision about their own business (whether they're a corporation or an individual) that you aren't a fan of, it becomes an insult? They don't exist to cater to you personally, and they are not beholden to you, personally.So you can be disappointed. You can decide that their products aren't for you. You can long for the days when your wishes were the ones being fulfilled. But don't act insulted. That just reeks of everything unpleasant about the gaming community.</blockquote>
