[QUOTE="Midknightsun, post: 3845368, member: 46459"] I'd like to go on record saying I think WotC has done a fairly admirable job so far with prepping for 4e. Granted, I'm still not crazy about the cancellation of the Dungeon and Dragon mags in print form. I really am not concerned one bit if there was a little verbal sight of hand as to whether or not 4e was in the works way back. Letting the cat out of the bag too early could have put a hurting on future sales a bit sooner than WotC wanted. Being all horrified and hurt by deception is something a reserve for my family and friends, and not a gaming company, but that's just me. They are a business, and frankly, are far more customer friendly and responsive then many I've dealt with. I think we have been given a good run of info on 4e. Of course, for some it'll never be enough until the have an actual hardcopy of the system in their hands, but whaderyagonnado? (Even then, their will be much bitchery.) To Scott, I understand your frustration. When you're working on something you really love, and trying to consider the best way to serve your customer base, it can get to be dissappointing to see the constant stream of complaints and gripes. Much like water torture, it may not seem significant at first, but it can wear one down in the long run. But some people like to bitch, and like to see their bitching in print. Justified or not, its gonna happen no matter what WotC did for its customer base, especially one with such a range of divergent wants and desires as the gamer community. That doesn mean "ignore it", it just means its gonna be there. Period. Yeah, it can make one feel unappreciated at times, but I think, for the most part, its coming from gamers who at their core just want to contribute to the game itself. We've already seen WotC respond to customer input, however, everybody who is grumbling won't be happy unless their input is taken into account (meaning some people are just not going to get their way). Just keep up the good work and remember not to forget the positive feedback as well (as a previous poster had said). [/QUOTE]
