[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6271322, member: 2525"] You know I have been thinking about what Jester Canuck said, and trying to see that perspective. And since you see that point as well, I guess that means I am missing something. So, here's my attempt to play devil's advocate, and try better to appreciate that this was more important than my instinct tell me it is. So here is hypothetically what WOTC could have said, had they announced it: OK, that could use some polishing, but that's my best attempt at an announcement that drives the news better than the Barnes and Noble one does. And...that exercise did help me see how this could have been done better. Though of course I made up a lot of details to flesh this hypothetical announcement out, some of those details must exist right? I mean, in the very least they could talk a bit about the art, and the quality of the print and binding, and why the price point was reached, and those reasons? OK, so in light of all that I apologize to [MENTION=37579]Jester Canuck[/MENTION]. He's got a good point - it could have been done better, and probably should have been done better. [/QUOTE]
