Message: <blockquote data-quote="AbdulAlhazred" data-source="post: 5402862" data-attributes="member: 82106">I never said anything about 'stifling silence'. I said "dry up with all the WotC stupid, lazy, evil, beat my dog" routine. We HEARD it, the first 4000 times. I address it to whomsoever sees fit to take it as a criticism. Not everyone does it by any means. But more to the point I never said to stop pointing out what can be made better, why, and how. Just lets STOP with the 50% of every thread pre-dedicated to the same tired refrain of telling us how bad, evil, etc the people are who DARE to work for less than they could get in most positions they could be holding to work on providing us with our entertainment. I mean I KNOW bashing them IS a lot of people's entertainment, but I'm bored of it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> Huh? I mean I'm hearing a lot of people saying "<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=":)" /><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=":)" /><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=":)" /><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=":)" /><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=":)" /><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=":)" /> job there guys" but really exactly how sure is everyone it IS factually not well done? I want to hear specifics, examples, reasons etc not this "Oh, most things are uncommon, that's just awfulz!!!!" SHOW ME. What should be common? Tell us, since if you can look at the list and see what's WRONG with it then you logically must also know what would be RIGHT with it! lol. This is not a sensible statement. Players can ALWAYS pester the DM for more power. Players HAVE ALWAYS pestered the DM for more power. Unless and until they have total ultimate power there is always more they can ask for. I'm saying the line was redrawn in a conservative fashion that gives the DM some room to maneuver. Players don't ask for LESS power. Wasn't half the point of this whole exercise to dial it back a bit? I agree there is room to debate by HOW MUCH, but you surely can't be telling me it will be easier for me to take the PCs commons and tell the players they are now uncommon when the rules say different vs going the other way!!! I'm not confused about anything. I said exactly what I meant to say. BoMS SHOULD be uncommon but it is common. It illustrates my point, better to be conservative. This is exactly what (BoMS aside) WotC has been. It is a conscious deliberate choice of the designers, not 'laziness' or stupidity. Do you think the lazy and stupid people get to be full-time game designers? Excuse me? In what industry does that happen? Do you think nobody out here in the rest of the world wouldn't snap up the chance to have that job? Of course they would. The competition is fierce. I don't doubt that there are perfectly well qualified people outside of WotC, but to imagine that they are so dumb that they only hire lazy stupid people seems incredibly far-fetched to me.</blockquote>
