[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9233107, member: 7034611"] maybe because I have no good idea of what you are actually claiming, so let’s start from the beginning ;) ‘this’ was D&D being safeguarded as described by you in what I quoted My question was how are people even going about safeguarding it, when they have no control over what TSR / WotC do. For most of that time neither one collected feedback and acted upon it, that only changed after that behavior drove 4e into the ditch. Even now that WotC is polling people, they themselves say they go against that outcome when the feel like it. At a minimum this still requires a large percentage of respondents to ‘safeguard’, and if that is what it takes, then this is not really safeguarding, it is WotC doing what most prefer instead of something only a small fraction wants. I expect the safeguarding to happen by a small but vocal minority, if 70+% agree on something, that is not safeguarding. Also, your reply showed D&D changing with the times, which is pretty much the opposite of being safeguarded. So given this, how is this safeguarding accomplished? so ‘safeguarding‘ is different people having different ideas of what D&D should be / develop into and discussing them online. That is not safeguarding at all, people simply have different opinions and pretty much none of this online chatter makes any difference to what WotC is actually doing with D&D… Oh well, not expecting an answer from you I guess… [/QUOTE]
