[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8857697, member: 22779"] Yeah, I'm not quite so willing as that to give equal weight to arguments just because of someone's "feelings". Sure, it's possible, but, then again, so are a lot of things. But, people are basically just making stuff up without actually having any reason other than comparisons to completely different products - video games and MMO's - or mostly because folks have an axe to grind with WOtC or corporations in general. I fear that's not justified or rational is something to be ignored. Perception is not reality. We've had more than enough of that crap in the past. I'm just really, really tired of people making these grandiose claims about how WotC is going to screw us all over and how the hobby is destined to failure. Would it kill people to be just a tiny bit positive, just for five minutes? Ten years ago, all we heard was how WotC's publication schedule of 3 books per year was going to destroy the hobby. Then it was how WotC was ignoring fans and not producing shorter modules and that was going to destroy the hobby. Then it was how bringing out a few books that didn't toe the line and regurgitate the same crap they'd been pushing for years was going to destroy the hobby. Now it's how a VTT is going to result in "micro-transactions" (whatever that actually means) is going to destroy the hobby. It would be nice if people could just give it a freaking rest. Just once. No wonder WotC absolutely refuses to engage with fans directly any more. No matter what they say, it's nothing but clickbait garbage headlines about how WotC is killing the hobby. I'm just so freaking tired of it. [/QUOTE]
