[QUOTE="WyzardWhately, post: 3831980, member: 33207"] I don't think the objection here, although we're phrasing it that way a lot, is that WotC has a positive duty to tell us everything we want to know. The real objection is that the stuff they are giving us is potentially disingenuous, and definitely calculated more to manipulate than to inform. Now, this is what marketing is essentially FOR, and WotC is all grown up now and they can have marketing people if they want to. But this is a hobby so small and tightly-bound that we historically have a lot of interaction between the producers and consumers. There are, if you will, matters of loyalty to designers AND brands that are closely bound to the gamer heart. And, when our producers suddenly turn and start throwing pre-digested pap at us instead of A: having a genuine conversation or B: Telling us that they can't talk about it yet, we are feeling a little ill-used.
