[QUOTE="Friadoc, post: 3469449, member: 5445"] For me, I think the WotC professionals' comments were sincere and probably would not have been torn into had WotC made the post the day before. My thought is that whomever the power that be, the one, or ones, who made the call that under estimated the potential reaction and felt the post could wait a day, dropped the ball. At least, I think, things would have been calmer with more out of WotC than 24 hours of silence. While it may not be the case, it definately implied a lack of connection with the community, the fans whom they affected with the pulling of the license from something familiar to be replaced, or turned into something, at the moment, unfamiliar. Tearing to Mohan and crews comments, I think, is a bit too much, as no one likes someone else saying why they said something, or how they felt, or what they meant, since you're the one saying it and, thusly, the one who knows. But, after 24 hours of lamenting, venting, ranting, and raving, well, the mob isn't always logical, is it? They're moving into the 'brave new world' of on-line media, they need to get use to it's annoyingly alacritous reaction time. My personal theory is that they don't have the community/sites presence that they use to, as others have said, and thusly they didn't get some friendlies into play when the messages were first put out. They've done it before, like Eric said, with the layoffs and other things, but not anymore. Or, at least, not this time. [/QUOTE]
