[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9059962, member: 7006"] Of course not. The online community is very much more of the opinion that THEY know what is right and wrong with D&D and anything that gets done which runs counter to that is very much because the designers are lazy or stupid or aiming for the wrong audience or any other reason. It's never because their voice is just one in hundreds of thousands of other voices all of whom have differing ideas of what is right or wrong and unfortunately WotC can't satisfy all of them with a single book. WotC can satisfy a small sliver of the D&D community with every rule they put in. The other larger swathe of the community will either just accept that X rule isn't really that big of a deal and go along with it even if they aren't crazy about it... they'll think it's crap but use it begrudgingly because it's easier to do so than to not... they'll think it's crap and that they can design something better and in fact will create their own houserules to do so... or they'll think it's so much crap that they just don't bother playing the game at all. It's the same song and dance we've seen since the beginning of the game's existance. I accepted long ago that WotC is going to include rules in their books that I probably won't care for because they are aiming at a target audience for them that isn't me. So be it. It is what it is.
