[QUOTE="F4NBOY, post: 3928592, member: 54553"] Thank you Mike for the answers. Twenty eight years hearing that whinnings... oh boy...It's good to know D&D is still in good hands. I hope all the people that complain and have been complaing, and repeting and actually believing in all that crap humbly understand, once and for all, that their butts were heavily kicked. I know you need to be political correct, but we both know that the game is not designed for everyone, it's designed for us, gamers, people that play the game to have fun, grognards or fanboys, we all play the game for the fun, but not them. Fun is such a simple word, such a simple motive, but after 3 decades they don't understand it, do they? So don't waste your time trying to discuss or justify your decisions based on fun. because those guys don't care about it, they don't play the game to have fun. They are players that play it so they can feel better about themselves, they are DMs that dm the game for themselves and not for their players. How can you be reasonable with people like that? Well it doesn't matter, what's important is that it's our game, and even if we may allow them to play it, we will never allow them to change it, to turn it into something else so they can feel even better about themselves. That day they put their freaking hands on D&D is the day D&D dies. It's good to know this day has not come. Thank you Mike Mearls, we win! Long live D&D. [/QUOTE]
