[QUOTE="carmachu, post: 4299540, member: 34534"] Then your like those monkies that held its hands oevr its eyes ears and mouth in the last year. I've never seen a badly run marketing run as WotC has with 4e. Dont understand what WotC could have done differently? Here's two basic things: Dragon and Dungeon cancellation was TOTALLY badly handled. Killing the magazine and NOT having something in place to pick up the slack was bad. Saying you have something cool coming was NOT the way to transition. The total disregard for its rich history was bad. The continuos chorus of 3.5 was bad and badmouthing it to hype 4e was TOTALLY inapproriate. After years of fun, being total basically, when all is said and done 3.5 was bad and sucks and 4e is way cool.....afte spending money on their books is insulting. Thats just two examples. Lets go through some 4e stuff thats totally botched: OGL/GSL. Its not here. The release is, its not. It was SUPPOSE to be here in January. 6 months later its not. For whatever reason, its not. Thats not good. DDI: its not here. Again it was HUGELY hyped to be with 4e. It was a conerstone of the new edition. Not ready. Lets not even talk about the pit of darkness thats Gleemax......
