[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4390125, member: 40961"] I put down 6 on principle. I'm not a fanboy who believes that WOTC can do no wrong, but I am a dedicated hater of haters. For example, every time I read about someone who has just purchased a product from WOTC and is now filled with hate and rage that WOTC has somehow stolen their money by selling them this product (or who [I]hasn't[/I] purchased the product, but who is filled with rage that [I]someone else[/I] might choose to purchase said product), I myself am filled with hate and rage towards said person. I buy... some WOTC products. I put down maybe a hundred and fifty bucks during the era of 3e. I'll probably put down more on 4e, due to the evolving purchasing dynamics of my gaming group, but I've never been one to buy everything they sell, nor has my group. This is because they sell some things that I do not like. You will never hear me whine about the randomized miniatures they sell, and how their set doesn't have the right creature distribution for my needs, or the miseries of randomization, or whatever, because I know I do not like randomized miniatures and therefore have not purchased any. Same for character sheets, or power cards, or expansion books that add material that I do not want in my game. Through the simple power of exercising maturity and discretion as a consumer, I ensure that the WOTC products that I DO purchase are ones that I really, really like. Which means that I have a very high opinion of them as a company, because my every personal contact with them is highly satisfactory. They release products I really and truly enjoy. They also release some other stuff, but I don't buy that stuff, and assume that those who do are people who really and truly enjoy those particular products. If, as is sometimes apparent on these boards, the people purchasing WOTC products actually hate WOTC products with the fire of a thousand suns, well, sucks to be them. The solution is to [I]stop doing that[/I]. [/QUOTE]
