[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9064079, member: 7006"] Heh heh... I think at the end of the day the reason why WotC seems reluctant to make major changes is because they recognize the same thing that all of us do, although we don't want to admit it... ...all our ideas completely suck! For every single one of us here on the boards that makes a suggestion of a "completely obvious change" that would make the game better... you will get three people responding to say the change is horrible. It's as simple as that. Not a single one of us can come up with an idea that won't get more people to decry it than to embrace it. We know this. WotC knows this. And which is why they just let all of us change things ourselves... either at home for our own table, or by trying to sell the idea on DMs Guild or any OGL release. WotC flat out tells us to not worry about their products. Don't use them as-is. Change them. And yet so many of us just can't do that. We HAVE to use what they give us for whatever inane reason... which is why we all fight tooth-and-nail to try and convince everyone that what WE want in the game is what everyone else should want to. But it doesn't work. Because what we want are ideas that suck. Or at least... suck for everyone else other than ourselves. ;) So why we keep fighting the bad fight trying to convince people otherwise just so we can get it published in the official WotC version is beyond me.
