[QUOTE="HeirToPendragon, post: 5365680, member: 59752"] [b]My open letter to WotC[/b] I posted this on their forums, but I wanted to post this here too. The CB Online announcement has forced me to leave the game. Here is my open letter to WotC. Dear Wizards, With this new announcement, you have made my D&D Insider subscription pretty much worthless. I do not always have constant internet connection nor do I feel that I should need it in order to use a service I have rightly paid for believing it to be an offline software. I have just canceled my online renewal subscription to D&D Insider. I understand that you are trying to possibly prevent piracy or are wanting to deliver content to smartphone users, but by removing the software you are hurting people like myself who do not have a smartphone and can't always get to the internet. This is a disappointment, for you guys have made a really good product with the character builder. It is very well done. But you have destroyed it's usefulness for me and thus I have alienated me as a paying customer. In fact, by removing the character builder from me you have pretty much assured that I am leaving D&D all together. I don't buy the splat books as the character builder made them useless, and I'm not going to start buying them as you errata the information the very month they are printed. I am very displeased in the direction that 4e is going, and I was once one of your biggest supporters. But every few months you show more and more of your true colors and I am no longer happy with the product. The constant erratas have made my books that I do own completely worthless, not to mention that they were overpriced and of poor quality to begin with. The blatant fact that you do not play test anything that comes out, something we all observed as early as the Battlerager. The complete and total blunder with the miniatures line, consisting of removing the miniatures game, claiming to make all future minis viewable then pulling a 360 on that idea within six months, and let's not forget the poor craftsmanship/paint jobs of most of the newer minis. And of course the unnecessary additions of side products blatantly made to increase sales, including Essentials and Gamma World. You have been waving around your true colors for months now and this latest change has caused me to take notice. Thank you for the time you have given me WotC, but I can no longer to continue to support your actions. [/QUOTE]
