[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 8584702, member: 6807152"] No, I honestly dont. I think people looking for a reason to be put off, or who have already been put off due to past WotC choices, dont need such a thing to convince them to pass on a product. I've passed on Wizard books for pettier reasons (Alignment, ASI, etc), and will likely continue to do so. Hell, I just went back to the first page to look, and I'm put off by the cover, and alt cover, instantly, as discussed over in the 'art' thread that is current. The post with 55+? Honestly, yeah? Cute and Fluffy? Tell me that isnt the first impression. Dislike of the current trend in art direction? Clearly he's not alone. Dislike of the trend of looking for alternative's to combat? What of it? Again, seemingly not alone. Could have been Planescape? True! Then again, I came around to the fact I would rather not even see Wizards of the Coast of 2022 Planescape ANYWAY. The 55+ reactions? Those people are already likely in agreement, and again likely are put off before even finishing scrolling past the Alt Cover. Everyone else? Lets be real, you know its going to sell well, Wizards knows its going to sell well, and people are going to sing its praises when its released. [/QUOTE]
