[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 5597378, member: 46713"] That's exactly the kind of reaction I knew would be coming :) It's true that many, most or even all FLRPGS owners that I know are either opinionated or clueless (or both) (which is the main reason why so few of them are left ;)). The ones that are left only survived because of the ongoing success of trading card games. RPGs are not what allows them to survive. Basically, they only have them in store because they appeal to a similar customer group. Hence, there's little incentive for them to research them on the internet. Not putting crucial information on the product or even providing misleading information (according to 'internet consensus') on the product is totally, entirely WotCs fault (imho, obviously). If a software company's trying to sell a video game and the system requirements on the box say this: - Windows 7 - Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz - 3 GB RAM but actually the game would run on a system like this: - Windows 2000, XP, or Vista - Pentium 233 or equivalent - 32 MB RAM then who's to blame if a shop owner tells a potential customer with the latter hardware that the game (probably?!) won't run on his system? the software company, the shop owner, or the customer?
