[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 2580830, member: 4275"] Id like to draw a little extra attention to this point. I dont have a problem with people talking about what they wish was in 4E or wondering when its going to appear. But in every one of the 4E threads I have read, several posters talk about how its on the way any second now, usually coupled with a doomsday scenario about how this is being done because 3E is failing, D&D is failing in Hasbro's eyes, D&D is about to be sold, etc etc ad nauseum. Then a WOTC employee like Mike Mearls will pop and say its not happening, that D&D is doing fine financially etc and posters will attack him as a mindless corporate zomboid spin-meister. *THAT* is one of the main things I have seen "ridiculed", and since the mods don't seem very interested in WOTC employees being attacked when they post on the boards, I think it SHOULD be ridiculed. Or any thread about 4E or WOTC's financial health that degenerates into attacks on WOTC employees helpful enough to post actual information closed immediately. Chuck [/QUOTE]
