[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9449255, member: 6879661"] So I’m a 4, because I do generally buy most WotC products and I want the game to be successful. I enjoy 3pp adventures and occasionally settings but I’m not at all interested in 5e clones and for me the official version most current [B]IS[/B] D&D. New players are going to come through official sources and will enter the hobby through the latest edition, not a relic system or a clone. So expecting the game to thrive outside of that is hubris. WotC owned the game for 27 years. Aside from a few blips they’ve been good stewards and most of the things I like most about D&D occurred on their tenure. Now if WotC did something really bad then it might bother me. I just haven’t seen anything that comes close to that bar yet. Just the typical things that happen when every significantly large group of adult humans come together in any enterprise. I want D&D designers to be able to communicate with their fans directly without a small proportion of toxic fandom dog-piling them on forums. Moreover I want to be able to enjoy discussing WotC products without the same toxic fandom dog piling every thread. So in summary WotC/Hasbro release lots of cool products that encourage me to like D&D and I’d like to continue doing that without other folks peeing in my cornflakes. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
