[QUOTE="ajanders, post: 997613, member: 3271"] Well, in fairness, he's probably not entitled to speak for the universe. Whose opinion is he supposed to express but his own?. That's a fair point, but many people had numerous problems with version 3.0 and were told, "Hey, if you don't like it, Rule 0 it/get a third party product/make up your own." Which they did, in large numbers. Some of those people may find those problems were solved in 3.5. Other people are going to find they now have problems with 3.5 they did not have in 3.0. I find it hard to believe your problems are more worthy of "official" support than theirs were. And unfortunately, many times solutions to the 3.0 set of problems and the 3.5 set of problems are going to be mutually exclusive, so someone's going to be unhappy. You certainly deserve happiness, but if you think I'm going to sympathize with your problems over, say, those of Henry-the-Moderator, you're asking a lot. I mean, that's like annoying Elminster in the Realms: you're just asking to wake up with your underwear Polymorphed into poison ivy or fiendish fire ants :) (Now, my understanding is that would be the unchanged Polymorph Other, not the extremely odd Baneful Polymorph/Non-Baneful Polymorph...hey, I'm not happy with all the changes either.)
