When should we expect answers?

Whether or not a company is required to be a certain way is a matter of law and that's not my issue. I'm a consumer, and I have the right to define the kind of relationship I'm looking for. The large corporate culture has not yet sufficiently bludgeoned my expectations down to the point that WotC should be taking it's cues from the lowest common denominator.

Dragon magazine (and probably Dungeon too) has had a longer run than any TV show I can think of - by many orders of magnitude.

Oh, there are 30-year TV shows about.

Oh, there are 30-year TV shows about.

Not many outside the UK though. I think the US has a soap opera and a news show.

The actual phrase was "not all the eyeballs have seen it", acompanied by a picture of a beholder, which I thought was kinda cool.

In before comparisons of WotC with a tyrannical, insane, ravenous monster full of hot air.

If any of the CSR's who report to me had shown a similar attitude towards one of our customers, they'd be on the street looking for another job.

I work at Network Solutions and the same goes here. There is just a level of professional courtesy you expect from a business.

It's specifically the attitude that WotC has somehow committed some great wrong by not answering questions sooner. Not that people wish they had--again, that's reasonable--but people claiming that somehow it's wrong/evil/improper for them not to have.

I think it's the aspect of informality that used to grace the RPG scene that garners the responses. I can't help but think that for some people it's not like a network telling you, "your show is cancelled", but more like if they had been told by a good friend, "Bob, I'm not coming to your game sessions anymore, and I'm starting Jim's campaign next week" "But Why?" "Just not. You'll find out later, but it'll be worth it, I promise." While it's a strange expectation, it's one that is built up by the informality that the RPG hobby has had with its fans over the years.

People are STILL watching Coronation Street?

 

[Wystan]

No, 'Last of the Summer Wine'

Great Show...

No, 'Last of the Summer Wine'

I'd be surprised if Morrus wasn't thinking of the same as me - Top Gear (30) or Dr Who (44).

You're like the brother I never had...

Oh, wait. I have two brothers. Dammit.
