[QUOTE="Zuranthium, post: 9418422, member: 7046627"] Trying to rectify any bad review in your head with it being for clicks is just ignorance. Why are there THOUSANDS of comments across various platforms that have similar opinions, hmm? It's not about you. But clearly you think it is. There are tons of people reading. Who knows how many might be interested in trying other things out, or decide not to purchase 5.5, because of seeing commentary about why it's flawed and/or not worth the expense. Nope, that's not it. You don't seem to understand the power of branding. There are millions of people out there who are never even aware of other products. D&D is what they see on the shelves at the game store, it's what they hear about. Thus, that's all they ever play, because it's the known thing, it's what everyone around them is doing. For the sake of ALL these people, and the entire genre, I want the best game out there. It won't happen if complacency reigns. I've played D&D since I was a kid and can only imagine how much better sessions would have been with a better ruleset (or how much worse, if some of my groups had just followed the rules exactly, which is the situation some people will be stuck in).
