However, I would prefer to understand the rationale and provide considered feedback to WOTC, as I have done on DDI for other things. I work in business, and have made decisions which my customers have not always greeted warmly. There are times where assumptions are made as to the reasons for the decision which are just plain wrong, which can be frustrating when your actions are second guessed erroneously. On the other hand, sometimes decisions are made which are perhaps poorly thought through, poorly communicated, or part of a wider strategy which it would be patently absurd to share early in execution. Oh, and yes some decisions just turn out to be wrong and with the benefit of hindsight could have been managed better. With the removal of Dragon and Dungeon to DDI, the GSL and other contentious decisions I have not viewed WOTC as inept. I do not always agree with the outcomes but I think the decisions are generally made based on information which is rarely in the public domain, and often has more sense than is given credit for. This does not mean that I think all the decisions have been well realised, or that I agree with the strategy, but I am willing to gather as much information as possible to share my views with them in what I hope will be a constructive way. Equally I know that if they get their business strategy seriously wrong then in time they will need to rethink to keep gamers on board. Time will tell whether Greg Leeds and the team have made a good business decision or a stategic error. I for one will sit this out in the short term and provide feedback on what I see.</blockquote>
