[QUOTE="Stoat, post: 5260222, member: 16786"] I don't subscribe because ENWorld, particularly the general forum, is less and less interesting to me. The number of new threads in general seems to have decreased. Umbran closed the "What could WotC do to woo back disenchanted fans" thread 2 days ago, and it's still on the main page. A year ago, it would have dropped down to page two in a few hours. Worse, IMO, the quality of the conversation has declined. The same half-dozen or so topics (sandboxing v. railroading, WotC's pdf/piracy policies, 4.5 and rumors of 4.5, fudging, verisimilitude and the loss thereof, WotC's treatment of D&D canon, etc. etc.) pop up again and again. Each time one of these topics shows up it spawns a gigantic 20+ page thread where the same dozen or so posters make the same points they've raised in a hundred previous 20+ page threads. Nobody's adding anything to the discussion. Nobody says anything new. The only interesting thing is to see who blows their stack and gets modded first. I still lurk around. I post from time to time. I even follow the occasional 20+ page megathread out of morbid curiousity. But I'm less interested, less informed and less entertained by ENWorld than I ever have been, and for that reason I haven't subscribed. [/QUOTE]
