Message: <blockquote data-quote="justanobody" data-source="post: 4553251" data-attributes="member: 70778">The problem I have with ALL these articles is that, from what I understand, these type of things were the free web enhancements on wizards.com.Now, this article serves to help new players it seems from what you and others say, as well as older ones, that just might not yet know.But for those who are not subscribed a new player may get the wrong idea from the blurb about what is being said, and then either takes away the wrong thing for not being a subscriber, or must shell out money to get something that should have been free advice to help all gamers, not things just for a subscriber.I still have not read the article, because I will not subscribe. I can write my own program of use one of the many online to help make a character and adjust my numbers for me, and currently only need the PHB.So it is what the articles has a goal to do, and then how it does it that I find a problem with.If you are going to help player, then do so. I would hope things like this were not only columns in the Dungeon magazine in the past. (Again or those who may have missed it I own one old Dungeon mag, and read others only during the free DDI period.)So if the article is intended to help everyone then it shouldn't be something that forces someone to subscribe to help them run/play the game.That isn't what insider content should be.So it isn't being threatened by what is said, rather than how what is said is delivered to the gaming public that offends some. Well also what the blurb says about the article pretty much summarizes what it seems to say anyway, and that may make people question WotC and its ability to make books if they are to have something worded to imply to just throw the rules out because you don't need them anyway!Of course you don't need the books anymore after they sucker you into buying DDI just tor read the article. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The idea of your are only worth helping/supporting if you are buying the latest product, is just plain offensive.</blockquote>
