[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9445648, member: 7635"] It's for engagement. It's the same behavior as people who rail how they aren't going to see the latest Marvel movie (and haven't seen one since Age of Ultron, but THIS new one is the death of the MCU) or go on a businesses social media and complain how their food is terrible and they never eat there. People thrive off the engagement that conflict brings. Look how many threads about elements of the game get either sidetracked into arguments about wotc, debates about preferred play style, or die after a dozen posts. Think how many times constructive criticism or attempts to fix an issue get ignored in favor of rehashing the same tired talking points. People don't want solutions, they want to be angry and they want to be right. And wotc is a great punching bag because it's so big and they routinely shove their foot in their mouth. No one would hang out on Paizos boards everyday telling them they are a crap company or make their public persona trolling Matt Corvelle, but wotc is the big fish and is fair game.
