It's part of the process of continually getting better at what we do. I don't think Eberron sucks because it's population is off. It would suck if that was one of many problems, but it's one of its few problems.I understand your feelings though as it often seems that people nitpick on relatively unimportant matters and that doing so often appears to be part of a larger attack. As an author, criticism (well, at least relatively accurate criticism) is something that's generally good, as its another thing I now know about that I didn't before. Bad crticism is just ignored. What's good and what's bad? Well, I make that part up as I go.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But with all that in mind, the same general sentiment can be reversed to those who belittle criticizers. Just because I like something, doesn't mean that parts of it don't suck or that the people who are bothered by a particular aspect of a world are the strange ones to be ridiculed when they point these things out. I always find it important for me to remember that often the negative tone I see in other's posts appears hightened because of the things I like, as opposed to any real negativity. It's much easier to tell in person than through text.joe b.</blockquote>
