[QUOTE="sunshadow21, post: 7679562, member: 6667193"] Because to some people it matters now where it didn't before. I personally don't understand why that would bother people now when nothing on WotC's side has changed, but it does. Some of it probably is a few people making a last gasp attack on WotC, but even then, so what? If that's the best they can come up with, let them rant and rave about things that don't matter; it means that WotC has fixed most of the big issues that plagued them throughout 4E's run. For the rest of the people, it's important to bear in mind that a lot of things that were never really questioned before are facing scrutiny that was never there before. It's happening pretty much throughout society and in every industry out there right now. It may not be entirely fair for WotC to be targeted in this particular case, but it's not all that surprising given how much of a presence they have even with a very reduced output. It's the same scenario I tell players that absolutely must have high stats; the more you stand out, the more attention you get, both positive and negative, and the ultimate outcome of that attention is entirely up to you. Focusing on strict facts when a lot of the increased scrutiny is based at least partially on emotions does not answer the initial concerns. Paizo has always done a reasonably good job of managing brush fires like this, and that has carried over it's fan base for the most part, in part because Paizo has very actively defended not only itself, but to a certain extent; Paizo has always actively discouraged the "us vs them" response that still plagues WotC and its supporters. WotC is getting better, and that is slowly starting to seep into the fanbase. Until then, I am forced to take what to some can seem like an antagonistic view not because I disagree with the defense being given, but because I can see how the tone and nature of that defense could quickly turn what is a very minor and small concern into a major battle that this brand and company does not need.
