[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9225517, member: 6790260"] There were only 27 people who died due to the Pinto's problems. More were injured without actually dying, but far fewer than the actual number of Pintos sold. Something can be an extremely serious fault while still not actually being some universal, every-single-user-sees-it problem. Now, that doesn't mean every fault IS "extremely serious." Many aren't. But the "people bought it, therefore it can't be a problem" argument is an [I]excuse,[/I] not a rebuttal, here. And I'm quite tired of this conversation-ending "nothing to see here, move along citizen" kind of response. There [I]are[/I] issues. Criticism [I]has[/I] grown with time. And some of those issues [I]cannot[/I], even in principle, be fixed with purely iterative, piecemeal, baby-steps changes. That is simply the fact of the matter. Whether WotC chooses to address this on its own, or waits until it becomes genuinely impossible to ignore the criticism, is a separate matter entirely. Telling me, tacitly, to like it or lump it because "it's popular" accomplishes literally nothing. [/QUOTE]
