Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shardstone" data-source="post: 8655099" data-attributes="member: 6807784">I think that your worldview is the healthiest one can have.I do think that the collector side of our hobby quite often gets upset when they can't maximize the use of everything they collect. Despite this, they continue to collect, even when told well in advance that the thing they are getting is not the thing that they really want. I think the desire to continue collecting, and the desire to get the most out of your money, is really making people at odds with themselves.In reality, you shouldn't buy every WotC product unless you earnestly enjoy them. There are many WotC products that I don't own because I've never been interested in them or the promise they made. This is separate from the other issue, which is that sometimes WotC oversells. Descent Into Avernus, for example, was marketed to me as Mad Max in Avernus, and while I got that, I got it in a delayed way that wasn't really feasible for a good group to use, and was a failed attempt at mimicking the "Fury Road" with the Demon/Devil Roads in Avernus. This particular argument is one about whether WotC is aware that they miss the mark before they sell the book, or if they just miss the mark naturally (which I think is the more the case). Regardless, its irrelevant to this thread.If people just bought what interested them and didn't fret so much about having to buy everything, and about everything WotC producing being for their game, I think there'd be a lot less negative feelings about 5E overall and we could have more honest constructive criticisms of the game that go beyond the boundaries of "I don't like this, and I don't like that you like it either!"</blockquote>
