I think that if there had been a proper presence to communicate with the fanbase, and if WotC had had something, anything to roll out and say "here's something to look forward to", that a lot of the people here would at least be stepping back and toning down the angst- I know I would.I think a lot of the vitriol and general upset feelings are simply being boosted by the fact that we're all coming together in common complaint and have no outlet for which to alleviate our collective unrest. Sure- there will always be backlash, and there will always be negativity towards announcements like this, but it can be minimized or lessened by proper publicity.It's the old- throw a starving dog a bone so he's got something to chew on analogy.How much did the ongoing 3.0 previews from the staff at WotC do to engender goodwill among the community back in the day? You'd think they would have learned from that- although I suppose the majority of the people who were there at the time are no longer, so maybe that has something to do with it.</blockquote>
