Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 3826422" data-attributes="member: 22424">If that were a blog entry, then I would be interested enough to read on to see what else she had written, especially if I had nothing else to do.However, as an article in a supposedly professionally-produced magazine (even online, and even while in the "free teaser" phase) it was rather poor. It was overly long, took too long getting towards its point, and featured too much that was irrelevant. It struck me as akin to Wil Save, but where Wil Save was tightly constrained in terms of word count, that does not appear to be the case here, to its detriment.Additionally, I have to question who the target audience is here? The writing style would seem to aim it at younger female gamers. Of course, given the current spread in the gamer populace, this would suggest that they're aiming it at all the new female gamers they're hoping to attract going forward. On the other hand, the point of the article would seem to be "change happens", which would aim it at older, established gamers who are having a problem with the 4e changes - most of whom are males in their thirties and above.Plus, there's also the small problem that things were better under that first teacher, Mrs Dancy, than they were under the new regime, and that Mr Mohan's efforts to make things better were to apply fancy dress, rather than to deal with the actual, underlying problems. Which isn't exactly an inspiring thing to say to those concerned about all the changes.</blockquote>
