[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5485896, member: 1210"] Except in this case, it has been what, half a year of disappointments? First the lack of updates in the CB and MB, the [i]very[/i] misleading statements about the update, the Final Update! that stripped out a bunch of content, a new CB that was given to us as complete when it really was barely ready for beta testing, a replacement for the MB that didn't build monsters, the lack of content- [b]this is not a single-month one-time phenomenon.[/b] This is an ongoing problem that has been at various stages of badness for about the last half of my last subscription. If that isn't room to complain, I don't know what is. I don't think anyone is arguing that WotC is trying to rip us off. Speaking for myself, I am saying that the value of DDI has fallen so far that I cannot feel good about giving WotC my money for it. I do not feel that I have been receiving my money's worth; moreover, the times when DDI has failed to deliver on promises are [i]many.[/i] DDI [i]still[/i] hasn't gotten to where it was promised to be when 4e released! Now, I don't think anyone is holding that against them at this point, but it's worth noting, when you say that they failed "ONCE", that they have actually had a long and impressive history of fail. The "good period" of DDI- from the initial release of the Character Builder until the time the updates stopped- was, overall, really good; but that doesn't mean that there have not been many significant disappointments. You are absolutely right, that was out of line. Sorry, my bad. [/QUOTE]
