[QUOTE="Grabuto138, post: 5376638, member: 61053"] I hear you. I know the 20 character limitation is going to be a pain in my ass for sure. There is plenty of room for serious complaints. I barely ever post. But the volume of gripe quotes has compelled me to interject because so many people seem to be so clearly grumpy over the fact that they are not getting lots of good stuff for a price approaching free. Frankly, I find it offensive that people are so hostile to the fact that something so totally awesome as D&D might need some money to keep doing what the are doing. I really, really do not want to go back to the bad old days of late 2e when there was not much worth buying and we decided to just stick with what we had. For all you people who have said, "I hate the new CB; I am picking up my toys and going home," you have no idea how crappy D&D can get when it gets really crappy. Imagine wanting to buy something but there is nothing worth buying. The fact is that that the world is moving towards server-based computing and the expectation that WOTC will maintain a per-user desktop resident application is silly. All these CB advocates might as well be arguing for the horse-drawn carriage and Betamax. Yes, WOTC is making an application where all the relevent data is stored elsewhere and your computer function essentially as a dumb terminal. Get used to it. If you don't like it, that silly hobby you play once every couple of weeks is the least of your problems. [/QUOTE]
