[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7629496, member: 15700"] When I say “changes”, that also includes adding in home brew stuff, as doing so would be changing the core available options. And yeah, I kinda roll my eyes at someone who refuses to play with others because the thing they are missing can be easily added via homebrew. But what really rolls my eyes is when someone demands the designers add exactly what they want when they are a tiny minority of wanting whatever that happens to be, especially if they could easily modify it themselves. That’s what DnD has been since the beginning. It’s its identity. And then to insult said designers if they don’t? I have little patience for that behavior. It screams entitlement to me. That’s said, I don’t care if people refuse to play a game for whatever reason; it’s their choice and their preference. It’s when they demand to make everyone else change to cater to them or insults come out. I’ve seen way too many responses from people who instead of just ignoring the game, go on and on about how unfair they are being treated or how they are forsaken. When 4e came out, I didn’t like it. So guess what? I didn’t play it. And I didn’t hang around forums complaining about it endlessly. Look at my join date. And search for how many posts I made from 2008 to 2012. I stuck with the games I liked, and let 4e fans have fun with their edition and left them alone for the most part. As far as what Mearls wanted, the top example off my head is variable dice for proficiency bonus instead of a flat bonus. [/QUOTE]
