[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 5385896, member: 58197"] I bought my DDI subscription for access to the Character Builder and Adventure Tools. The Compendium is a nice little bonus; I don't give a crap about the rest. The reason I keep paying for that subscription is to keep getting updates to the Character Builder and Adventure Tools. Right now, there are two ways I can look at the situation: [LIST] [*]I have not gotten updates for a couple months and won't get any for some months to come. [*]The working Character Builder I was using has been replaced with a crappy, broken version. [/LIST] If we were still getting updates for the old CB, until the new one was up to snuff--or if the new one had been up to snuff out of the box--I'd be happy. As it is, not so much. I'm sure Wizards is within the letter of the law here, but if you have to resort to telling your customers, "Look, legally speaking, you're getting what you paid for," you're not doing a very good job. (Also, whose bright idea was it to post back to the server for every single tiny change? I mean, seriously, I add 1 to my character's Strength in point buy--we need a postback for that? It's called Javascript, people.) [/QUOTE]
