[QUOTE="Jack99, post: 5375370, member: 53135"] I didn't swing by this discussion to point fingers or brand people. I am sorry if I did. But I do think that these discussions come down to the faith that you have in WotC. Because every time, we have the same people (more or less) taking the same position in a given debate. Which makes these debates not about facts, but about what you feel and think. Which again explains why most end up accomplishing ... well nothing. So, with that in mind, I want to say this. I think the new CB looks good, but the limitations are :):):):):):) at best. 20 character limit and no export is horrible and almost laughable. No customization support pisses me off. The fact that they use Silverlight that makes it impossible to run on my iPad annoys me to no end, since that would have been seven shades of awesome, if possible. The fact that it is online only is not a problem for me, as I always have Internet, wherever I go. I do see how some countries, or part thereof, might be less fortunate. But as evolution goes, isn't online the way to go? As mentioned, there are quite a few things that annoy me about the new CB. But I still have faith that within a reasonable timeframe, WotC will make this tool worth every penny. I also have faith that they are doing what they can to get things up and running and please as many people as humanly possible, within the limitations set forth by the high-ups and the technology. Is that a lot of faith? Perhaps. Is it blind? Well, I think not, but I am sure there are those that disagree. Luckily for me, the price of DDI is low - low enough to not really care. I mean, I pay $6 per month for ENworld, and get what? I couldn't tell you, but I know I pay the money because I like the site and want to chip in so that it continues to be around. Cheers [/QUOTE]
