[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6363860, member: 6689464"] More of a reason to rise awareness about standard and to campaign for it to be considered as important as Basic. I think I'm the most vocal about it, though my motives for that don't seem to be the most popular (The one thread I started to rise awareness of it died under a pile of posts dissecting my motivations, and trust me the world turns way sadder the moment you are told you cannot trust forum moderators by an actual forum moderator). Well I can partially blame WotC because part of their job is to know their audience. I know hindsight is 20/20 and nobody is omniscient, but you cannot leave so much to chance and fate when your job is to communicate, I expect their marketing department to at least have taken more than five minutes to ponder the consequences of using certain nomenclature that goes wayback with the current customers. We certainly don't know how many players are hesitant to buy and how many more are disappointed upon their purchase because of a simple miscommunication issue. [/QUOTE]
