[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5485766, member: 82106"] No, but when they have given you what you wanted for all this time since whenever it was you signed up for DDI and then along comes February 2011 and for whatever reason, which is probably totally out of the control of the guys putting together Dungeon, an adventure doesn't show up or maybe it shows up late they are suddenly lying cheating scum? ZOMG!!!!!! Yes, I am saying get some perspective. If it is beyond some level of tolerance that you have then YUP it is on you to go and tell THEM that you're dissatisfied and ask for your money back. You could have subscribed month-by-month if you didn't want to ever be in that position, the option was available to you. What I'm suggesting is that when you buy something regularly and at some point in time you buy that thing and its quality is less than usual for some reason that this is not always some evil plot by the providers of that thing to rip you off. Don't buy it anymore if you feel you can't get the quality you like. Calling people names is just crap. What is this, grade school? Notice, Mike Mearls didn't make a single excuse for Feb Dungeon. He just manned up and said it didn't live up to standard, and that they're aware of that and that they are making every attempt to deal with it. We don't know what constraints they operating under or what invocation of Murphy's Law may have come around to cause that to happen. It doesn't matter, and Mike, being classy, isn't whining or making excuses or trying to explain it away. So either cancel your subscription or cut him some slack. As for DDI Subscription numbers we've all been over this before. Sorry, but you actually CAN get an iron-clad minimum number by just going to see how many accounts on the WotC Community site are in the DDI group. It may be possible that this number only captures SOME of the subscribers, but EVERY SINGLE account that is active in the Community that belongs to a subscriber is in that group and if you drop your subscription you get removed from the group.
