Message: <blockquote data-quote="kaomera" data-source="post: 5532589" data-attributes="member: 38357">Right, but what I'm questioning isn't how WotC is going to approach the issues raised, but what the fan reaction will be. Going out of their way to ask for advice of this sort kind of puts WotC in the hot-seat, and we gamers are an impatient and fidgety lot (IME). Every week that goes by from here on out more people will get fed up that "these suggestions" (specifically whichever ones they hold closest to their own hearts) are not getting dealt with. This is already happening, but I think that asking in such a direct and specific way may accelerate the process.If WotC does address a problem, that's good for that specific problem and for those people who actually like the solution. It's potentially worst for people who either don't see it as a problem or have already dealt with it their own way. And if they actually come out and say that X thing was a failed experiment, that just ticks off more people...I dunno, like I said I hope I'm just being paranoid. I'm not trying to say that there's problems with CharOp having it's agenda and wanting what it wants - as you pointed out that's true of anyone or any group. All I'm saying is that when you put stuff to the public like this, I think there's going to be an expectation by the public (on an individual basis) that you will deal with the issues in a way that is satisfactory to them. And I think that the 4e player base is just too big to effectively do that for everyone.</blockquote>
