[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 655767, member: 1288"] No name calling, as agreed, but this [i]disgusts[/i] me. How the hell can you claim to know what the "truth" is? Does WotC want to make money? Of course they do. They're a company. Does that mean that's the [i]only[/i] reason they're doing 3.5, and that it's just intended to force you to spend your money? Of course not, and anyone who claims otherwise hasn't bothered to think the argument through. Though it's been said before, I'll say it again. All of this is going into the SRD. Pretty much immediately. So, WotC is running a "scam," and they'll top it off by providing the necessary info for free to those who don't want to buy it. Oh, that's a brilliant scheme. :rolleyes: As both a gamer and a professional in the industry, I can say from both standpoints that WotC has been [i]nothing[/i] but courteous and anxious to help. I haven't always agreed with all their decisions, but they've always gone above and beyond to help everyone adapt to those decisions. To see them insulted on the basis of half-truths and a single quoted sentence that may or may not mean what you think it does just turns my stomach. You want to express an opinion? Fine. Don't pretend that what you're expressing is hard and cold fact, though, because it's not even close. [/QUOTE]
