[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8747294, member: 7023887"] Yeah. That's been something I've noticed for the past year or so. If they get rid of racial ASIs, people complain. If they keep them, people complain. If they never update an old setting, people complain. If they do remake an old setting but change literally anything, people complain. If they release the old setting without any changes, people complain that it's not changed and that they're just doing the same old thing. If they keep alignment, people complain. If they get rid of alignment, people complain. If they have a bad rule (Inspiration), people complain. If they change that rule to make it better, people complain. If they keep half-races, people complain that there's no Half-Gnomes and Half-Dwarves. If they make half-races of any type possible but just flavor, even more people complain. If they update Psionics in a new system, people complain. If they don't update psionics, people complain. If they update Psionics as spellcasting, people complain. There is literally nothing WotC can do that will stop people from complaining. And I know they're not all the same people, they're mostly just different groups of people that have different opinions on what D&D is/should be, but it must be exhausting for WotC to have to deal with the endless complaints online and the inability to please a huge fraction of the "fanbase". And I'm not defending some of their bad decisions or saying that WotC is perfect. They're not and never will be perfect. However, it's kind of impossible for them to "win". [/QUOTE]
