[QUOTE="Lumboloid, post: 3464667, member: 48081"] Over the past several months I have become more and more dissatisfied with WotC on the whole. One of the guys in my gaming group (posts here as Boerngrimm i do believe) and I have been talking a lot about this. Here are the three points that have made me decide to no longer support WotC. 1. The rising cost of Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures I love these minis. I think they are great. They have greatly enhanced my game, but with the price having gone up I just can't justify spending the money on them. With the upcoming release Reaper's prepainted plastic minis there will be an alternative and I already have enough DDM that I can proxy just about anything. 2. The aweful proofreading of the books released by WotC These $30+ hardcover books are filled with far too many spelling errors for me. I know that I don't use perfect spelling or grammar, but nobody pays me $30+ to read my message board rants. Also, the business of errata coming out as soon as the book is published i dumb. Check your products against each other before you send them to distributers. 3. The cancellation of Dragon and Dungeon magazines For the money, those two magazines were the best value in gaming for me. Being in the tax bracket that I'm in and raising two children leaves me with very little extra cash to spend on gaming so my subscriptions to those magazines is where I got most of my new gaming material. Taking that away is terrible for me. Because of these three things, I will no longer purchase any WotC products. To hell with them. The 3rd party companies work much harder so they can have my gaming dollar. [/QUOTE]
