[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8658967, member: 27996"] I actually do mind seeing as how the "fixes" are something that should have been in the core book from the jump. And now I have the privilege of paying extra for expansions in order to get their corrections based on paying customer playtesting. I decline their generous offer. They did playtesting like Pazio does playtesting. i.e. They released the game they wanted to largely unchanged despite feedback. The two issues you cite as fixed in post #28 are something that would have been caught in an actual blind playtest amongst the fanbase. And that's just two of several issues found by many fans just reading the rulebook on release. I mean, you’re entitled to your opinion, but no game company in the history of RPGdom has ever released a negative poll of a recently launched game. I can point you to polls on other fora where things come out rather differently for WRFRP 4e. And while It is 100% true that you can't make everyone happy. It is also true that some can't accept that many fans of [I](insert RPG IP here)[/I] feel that the latest edition of [I](insert RPG IP here)[/I] was pooched.🤷♂️ For someone that said they were not interested in edition wars, you had a hard time not dwelling on the past and promptly jumped to 4e's defense. I’m not really interested in edition wars either. I get that 4th Ed has its proponents. I put forward an alternative view. It's time to let people make up their own minds, and focus more on posting about Witcher gaming in alternative RPG systems. [/QUOTE]
