[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7666462, member: 7006"] And therein lies the rub. When people talk about products they would love to see made, that's cool. We all have wish lists. But as soon as those desires morph into the moral deficiencies and/or business acumen of Wizards of the Coast... how they obviously do not know what they are doing, or have no knowledge or plans and are just making things up as they go along, or are stupidly leaving money on the table, or deliberately shoving people who have money to give them off to the side, or that they don't care about their customers, or that they are running the game into the ground, or that they should just sell D&D off to another smaller company who actually cares about D&D because that company would see how obvious all of these requests are and actually put them into practice, or at the barest minimum tell all of us players exactly what they have on the docket for the next three years so that we all can plan for when those products will be released and thus let us know whether we should buy the game now and enjoy playing it or hold off until then... that's when the rest of us are going to pointedly comment back to you that your expectations are perhaps A BIT off the mark and that you are being a little unreasonable with your expectations. Once your criticism of what you'd like to see moves into the realm of "WotC is stupid" or "WotC is evil"... you pretty much give up the chance for reasonable debate. [/QUOTE]
