Why you do you keep posting? Silly question.In order to make change happen, something needs to be spoken out against. By discussing what is wrong with a product, people start to have more reason to explore other options, instead of lining up like lemmings to buy and use the 5.5E books as if that's the only option. If a product starts trending downwards, and other similar products upward, then a company is incentivized to do something about it. Like what happened with trash 4th edition.It's desirable to have the best base system possible, so everyone can start on the same page and then a few house rules can be added.It's absurd to try and bring in a legal definition, and act like breaking the law in that regard is the only way deception, manipulation, and inaccurate promotion exists.Thousands of companies sell unhealthy food products and use advertising to make their products seem cool and perfectly fine, making society a worse place as a result. They make sure to not break the advertisement law, but that doesn't mean what they are doing is good.It's not just a difference of opinion either about the things WotC have said. "Any player will find more ways to imagine their character with the new rules"? No, I won't, nor will plenty of others, many of whom have posted in this thread about how the background system adds nothing. Even if something is a difference of opinion, so what, that doesn't remove the issue. The affect of this on the masses is what's important. They think they're getting something great, but I think they could have something better, and that something better won't happen if the status quo is clinged to.</blockquote>
