[QUOTE="Nullzone, post: 5574313, member: 97538"] No, see, that's the thing -- the fact that they designed something you don't like doesn't mean they flipped the bird at you. It means "We're trying something new, let us know how you like it." Do you take it as a personal affront when all the news on TV isn't exciting or relevant to you as well? And before someone else says it, it also doesn't mean that they're never again designing a product to support your preference. Heroes of Shadow does a lot to support the shadow theme and it delivers content for essentials and non-essentials alike (and no, HoS is not an Essentials book. "Heroes of X" does not mean Essentials). The theme articles make incredible strides at support for everybody across the board. You're right, they can't please everyone all the time. The people who aren't pleased at a given moment need to realize that, sit the frack down, and have some tolerance.
