The website does not even market itself as such: "EN World: Tabletop RPG News & Reviews." You came here in 2019. I doubt these people are coming here to tell you anything. A number of people on this forum, myself included, have been on here long before 5e D&D. It's likely that there will be people on here after 5e D&D as well. People come here to discuss a variety of topics related to D&D and tabletop RPGs. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" title="Man shrugging    :man_shrugging:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />My preference is not to take such potshots, but I suppose that you may feel differently in that regard. Regardless, I don't think that one should make such malign generalizations about the intentions of nameless people who aren't here. I think that it risks of unfairly strawmanning others. As I said before, I think that there are a variety of reasons why people may voice criticism of the brand, none of which requires ascribing a desire on these people as wanting to be perceived as "experts."</blockquote>
