[QUOTE="Cain_the_Deceiver, post: 9342402, member: 7045715"] releasing things piecemeal a class or two at a time with one or two subclasses only, nerfing martials and then half un-nerfing them, changing a bunch of the basic rules but not having any indication how they're supposed to interact with each other, the community squabbling over everything (not particularly WOTC's fault)and the general air of "this is the playtest and teh only time you have to put in your reviews to influence the game", "making the game simpler and easier for new people to get in to" by making it more complex and confusing, the poor business tactics of WOTC (not a new thing, I know, but getting significantly worse), the underhanded "woke" stuff like erasing slavery from existence retroactively when you have places like chult and the city of brass and how to not offend your non-whites at the table, 5.5e but NOT, threats of removing legacy content, poor pr and handling of 3rd parties, OGL and pinkertons, etc etc Playtests are supposed to be messy but they really went ham in and out of the game I pretty much just stopped giving it attention and decided I'll touch on it again when it's all finalized and set in stone [/QUOTE]
