[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 2747819, member: 6390"] You have every right to be. Just like we have the right to point it out. Avoiding an ulcer. Realizing that it doesn't work that way. By your logic, Microsoft owes me a refund on: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows XP Home Edition. After all, I bought Windows for Workgroups 3.11, and that was buggy, and isn't each edition merely an attempt to fix up the holes in the original. Sorry, but that's not how it works in the real world. Nobody MADE you buy them. WotC didn't release Air 2.0, now with more breathability, they released a second edition of the d20 system, in response to customer feedback and complaints. It was up to you if you wanted to buy it or not. I hear lots of people still run 1E games. If that's all you got, in your call for ingenuity, innovation, originality, and a demand that since the product didn't have those, you should recieve the book for free, you're sadly mistaken. I was pointing out that you are doing something that isn't innovating, and just building on the work of others. Pot, this Kettle, come in. Pot, this is Kettle, you are rusty, over. Except your complaints are not honestly. They forgo a basic honest rule. WotC is a business that provides a good that is not neccessary to life. Whether you choose to buy it or not is your business. They owe you nothing. OK. You demand it should be free. Let's ignore the hours of cut and paste to move it there. Nevermind the artwork. Never mind the print run costs. The distribution costs. They should give it to you. Shall they also give you $500 and a free kitten? Expecting a company that has invested man-hours and cash into a product to give it to you for free is like expecting record companies to give you "Best of..." CD's for free. Wish all you want, but it ain't happening, your foolish to think it will, and honestly, after the expense they put up, why should they? Wow. Just. Wow. Every product put out should be bursting with creativity. For a game of make believe that snags heavily from just about every source. I can tell that the arguements of how unreasonable you are being don't matter. That no matter what, you feel that because WotC somehow failed to live up to some yardstick you possess they OWE YOU. I want to know how many other things you can purchase for less than $150 and have as many hours of non-repititious fun with? [/QUOTE]
