[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5366537, member: 7006"] And this is exactly why they probably won't listen to you... because you freely admit that you think WotC has and probably always are "lying" to you and "screwing" you... and yet you continue to give them your money and use their product. Your actions are not equaling your words. Thus one of two things can be divined from this... either you're an addict who just can't quit the game despite knowing how bad it is for you (to which WotC's response should be that it's not up to them to police your actions and you need to bear personal responsibility)... or else your words are uselessly hyperbolic and you don't [I]really[/I] believe that their sins of lying and screwing you over actually hold any weight for you (because if they did, you wouldn't still play the game). Now while we can and do get "experts" claiming that games like WoW produce the first effect, the claim of "D&D addicts" are practically nil. Thus, it comes down to the second point... you may [I]claim[/I] you're always being lied too, but your actions are speaking louder than your words. And this is why I always post in threads like this... because I just like shining the light on perspective... something that quite a number of people here on ENWorld lose every single day when something happens that ticks them off. And so long as people continue to go so far over the top to claim that the company has and will continue to "screw you"... but NOT have that actually affect your playing the game... it tells WotC that they are safer [I]discounting[/I] your opinion because it is not coming from a place of logic or reason. It's coming from pure emotion and fear... and as we see time and time again... fear passes quickly once there's a new boogyman to bring the scares. [/QUOTE]
