[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9252646, member: 7006"] At the end of the day... the game is the game and the designers are the designers. They are going to make the game they wish to make. And what that means for the rest of us is that we are free to come onto boards like this and complain about how those designers designed their game. There's nothing wrong with that at all (so long as you don't make it personal by insulting the intelligence or skills of the designers.) Folks are free to rant as much as they want about the game on theses boards here till the cows come home. Even if others find those complaints annoying. But then at the same time... other people are free to come into these threads and post back stating that they think the complaints are unreasonable or overblown or not an issue for most others in the playerbase and thus there's no reason for WotC to change what they are doing. That's pretty much the entire point of boards such as this. People debating about what should or shouldn't happen with the D&D game. So while it is unreasonable to think posters can't come onto these boards to complain about issues they have with the game... it is likewise unreasonable for those folks to think can complain free from response. That's not how it works. It's a public board. One person can post, another person can respond. And if (general) you don't want other people to tell you why they think you are wrong, you have two choices-- either make your thread a (+) thread and word it in such a way that it's more about finding solutions to your issues rather than just complaining for complaints sake-- or else complain about WotC and D&D on your time and don't do it on a public message board.
