[QUOTE="garyh, post: 5376617, member: 6078"] I've bought every non-adventure book WotC has put out for 4e and been a DDI subscriber since it started. I have no problem with Hasbro owning WotC and D&D. In fact, collecting Transformers is a bigger (and more expensive) hobby for me than D&D. My issues with the new Character Builder are based only on what we know of the program currently and rest solely with the number of limitations it has compared to the old CB. Issues such as no exporting, a 20 character cap, and that it goes [I]poof![/I] the instant you stop handing WotC money. Speaking for myself, at least, this dissatisfaction with the new CB has [B]nothing[/B] to do with the disappearance oft-maligned "sub once every six months" option (and those who did do so did nothing but take advantage of something that WotC themselves used to sell the program, BTW) or that WotC is somehow evil for trying to make a profit. It's that I see the new CB as inferior to the old CB. At least based on what we know now. Maybe WotC will add additional features "soon" after launch such as making the new CG doing my laundry and fixing me a sandwich, but right now I can only go on what WotC is telling us, and it amounts to a lot of "Wow! Look at all these new limitations! Aren't they [SIZE="4"][B]AWESOME?![/B][/SIZE] [SIZE="1"]for our company[/SIZE]." [/QUOTE]
