[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 2915495, member: 957"] I'm not going to get into playing that game. It isn't "a thread" I can point to. It is a trend of the same person saying the same thing, just substitute the newest product. Actually, presenting a balanced perspective would provide the "good" of added credibility. When someone who gets paychecks from publisher only has gushing things to say about the products that publisher produces, the fairness of the assements being presented naturally become suspect. It also isn't fair to discard all negative response as "rants". Particularly in the case of WotC, trying to provide constructive negative feedback can be very valueable. Whereas simply being a "yes man" is counter-productive. Even if you only "yes man" when you truly like something and are simply quiet at other times. Yes, 90+% of negative reponse here IS certainly rants. But that doesn't mean valuable negative feedback is unallowed. To the contrary, an added voice of reasoned constructive criticism would be a boon. Absolutely. I hold industry people to a higher standard than random nobodies on a message board. If I'm wrong for that, then I'm wrong. But I still do. I'm certain that is true. Look, I'm not trying to just push buttons to agitate. If you see nothing in this but offense, then I apologize. But, sincerely, I did not sit down and make this up on the spot. [/QUOTE]
