[QUOTE="Ydars, post: 4589669, member: 62992"] I agree that people did say things against EGG, even back in the day. But the answer to the OP goes alot deeper than that. The real question is "When did we stop trusting." The fact we extend this to game designers is a consequence of a breakdown in trust between people in general. In the 1980s the world was just alot less sophisticated and alot more trusting. Back then, people were generally alot more open and the DM was much more in control of the game than most DMs are now. The problem is, most people can't give up control nowadays and are, by the standards of the 1980s, very spoilt and childish. Just look at the outrageous ways people address each other on these boards; people always have to win and be right. I am not looking at other people either; I see it in myself as well. And we call it progress........................... [/QUOTE]
