[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7679571, member: 6716779"] When Paizo took the magazine over quality went up IMHO. WoTC promised quality over quantity and HotDQ was a bit of a turkey so its not a surprise people will be upset over it. The perception is that they outsourced something and ended up with a shoddy product. It doesn't bother me as such as even in house TSR and WoTC have both made crap adventures in the past. Not everything is good. With only 2 APs as such out (3 now/soon?) it makes it stand out a lot more. If Paizo makes a boo boo or even the odd meh issue of Dungeon for example the next release isn't that far away. So frustration with the WoTC release schedule and the perceived quality of the products might have something to do with it. I mean there were reasons why HotDQ was a bit meh but once again one can blame WoTC for not getting 5E sorted in time and making the final materials available to the Kobolds or for sticking to the deadline no matter what. Things got changed at the last minute and HotDQ was rushed out the door apparently. Someone is gonna get the blame for that and the Kobolds ultimately can't control the 5E release schedule. If they had the choice of delaying the release and launched it anyway its their fault IMHO, if they were forced to release because of WoTC contract then its WotC fault. WoTC doesn't have the variety that Paizo does so you have more options I suppose in the event something goes wrong with a Paizo product. One can also go to the Paizo forums and critique Paizo/Pathfinder without having your head ripped off. The defenders of today's 5E are tomorrows edition warriors when 6E launches or WoTC mothballs D&D whatever comes 1st. [/QUOTE]
