[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8033641, member: 11760"] He may have been referring to the frustrations around the Ptolus Kickstarter (which I backed again, after being a 3rd edition backer back in the day). The stretch goals process wasn't fun, it was frustrating, and lots of people in the comments asked for clarity or voting for doors 1, 2 or 3 secret stretch goal method to be dropped entirely, and there was never any public acknowledgement of the concerns. If you go back and look, you'll see quite a few people worried that the secret stretch goal game meant that people didn't get options they might have wanted instead, as the "streets," "dungeon" and "spire" categories seemed to be less clearly delineated than backers thought. It's obviously difficult-to-impossible to respond to every query individually, but when there's a ton of complaints about the same topic, the apparent decision to not respond to them was not awesome. It certainly made me think it might be better to just wait for books to be available on the retail market next time, if the Ptolus Kickstarter was indicative of how the company handles them, which some folks suggested was the case.
