[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 7008464, member: 6701872"] To be honest, it isn't a matter of "correct," but if I were to gauge who knows the difficult of a thing more accurately between a person that has done the thing and a person that refuses to even attempt the thing, I know who I'd pick. I accept your opinion that there are problems. I genuinely want you to find solutions to them. I cannot help that, as a result of that genuine want, I end up butting heads with you a bit because you refuse to realize how ridiculous it is that you expect WotC to ever make a second attempt at things they have already tried to provide you, and that you expect that second effort will somehow be satisfactory to you despite that what they think of as their best effort (that being the one they went with first) isn't at all satisfactory. I don't believe that "officialness" has any weight to you at all. If it did, I expect you would be a lot more forgiving of the official rules. And I know for a fact that "official" is in no way a guarantee of satisfaction. I personally prioritize the latter, and am completely confused that you appear to prioritize the former. I do not at all care what products do or do not exist. I care about helping any gamer that isn't having an absolutely stellar gaming experience in any way I can - such as by trying to help them come to terms with the fact that a particular product is likely not to come at all, and even if it does come will not necessarily be what they wanted it to be, so refocusing on an actually attainable goal will be the most likely path to having an absolutely stellar gaming experience. I am glad to see that you also think our opinions carry equal weight. I wish that were more apparent in your general posting style and phrasing choices, because usually you look like you are saying that literally every gamer is eventually going to realize that your preferred way is the objectively best way to play, and that those of us who have different opinions are inherently inferior to you in intelligence and/or game skill/experience. The "smokescreen" here is you falsely assessing my statements as arguments why you shouldn't get what you want. All I have said to you is that to get what you want, which I absolutely hope you do, you are barking up the wrong tree because you are demanding it be delivered to you in the way that is least likely to ever actually happen. When I say "you can do that for yourself" I am not saying "You shouldn't want that" or "You shouldn't be allowed to have that," I am just saying "Waiting on someone to do that for you is more heart-ache than it is worth."
