In fact a lot of us who consistently posted on the 4e boards and played online with each other at various points made quite a point to insure that it was well-known we were organized, persistent, and coherently in favor of a certain style of game and desired certain things from DDN. You know what? I have never seen the slightest indication that anything any one of us ever posted, all the surveys we filled out, the feedback we have given on DDN playtest, etc has made the slightest difference. Barely any design decision made since the first DDN playtest package has in any way reflected the tastes of myself or my friends. We are simply clearly not even relevant to Mike and his plans. I'm sure he'd love to have us just change our minds and accept his vision for D&D, but he's not going to budge that vision one millimeter to make that happen. Obviously nobody can cater to everyone, but as one of WotC's best customers over the last 4 years I figured a smart guy would give me half of what I want, or 25%, or something. Obviously that was naive. I'm not alone. We are far from 'hating' DDN or disliking all of it. In fact in the most general sense it isn't a bad game, but it simply doesn't have as its goals the things that are interesting to me in a D&D that would replace 4e. So, I think your advice is fine, but going by experience it isn't effective, and there's certainly nothing ELSE that would be more effective, so short of waiting to see some major revolution in the design of DDN its hard not to mostly write it off.</blockquote>
