[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 3850146, member: 10095"] I don't support every notion they put forth. But I find the suggestion that they should cease to use terms like improvement, fix, and upgrade to be completely silly. If a company isn't willing to call their new product and improvement over the last, then why should anyone buy it? Why should we buy the product of any company that doesn't think they're doing better than they were before? And most importantly, why should the feelings of those who choose to remain with a previous edition be the standard by which their marketing is set (no pointing out flaws, because grognards might not consider them to be flaws, and we don't want to upset them)? This statement implies that you've seen the finished product to be able to give such a firm assessment that their claims are just illusions or wishful thinking. It also seems somewhat insulting to imply that the developers don't have a firm grasp on the reality of the game they've been developing for years now (especially since many of them are veteran 3e developers), by suggesting that they're either delusional (illusions) or naive (wishful thinking). And progress (to advance towards a higher or better state) is inarguably good. What is considered progress is what is subjective. [/QUOTE]
