[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5439686, member: 1210"] My annual sub lapses next month and at present I have no intention of renewing. The reason amounts to a decreasing quality and quantity of content. No more support for the offline CB was a blow; the online CB sucking so bad out of the gate (although in all fairness I haven't poked it since shortly after release) was a horrendous followup. Add to that discontinuing support of the offline Monster Builder with a final update that removed tons of content... well. Then there is the fact that so much DDI material is now preview material. It's like buying a magazine with 10 pages of content and 30 pages of ads. I don't want to pay for that! The crap-awful Dungeon Tiles based maps in Dungeon, the lack of real adventures (vs. delves), the "delve format" itself- all of these things are additional body blows to my desire to reup my subscription. What would it take to get me to resubscribe? A working suite of tools, like those we were repeatedly assured would be live at release, would be fantastic. Good content in the mags- why they even call them online mags now, I have no idea, since they aren't even going to compile them anymore. At an absolute minimum, I would need a functional Character Builder that supports house rules enough for a player in my game to actually use it (and how on earth a stripped-down version with [i]even less[/i] HR support than the original version had allows anyone to make a real character for a real campaign, I'll never get) and a Monster Builder that wasn't completely broken. However, although I might re-up given those two tools, I don't feel that the price of the sub is justified without, you know, a lot of what we were originally told DDI would be. So to re-up and not feel vaguely, irrationally ripped off by doing so, I'd need to see some good Dungeon and Dragon content as well. [/QUOTE]
