[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5379025, member: 710"] I am not sure what you are refering to - I think he talks about the differences between Red Box and the "actual" Essentials box and the fact that the Essentials weren't in the Character Builder at the normally scheduled time for such an update. Meh, I hate the term "WotC apologist". The key thing is whether WotC produces something we (or you or anyone else) likes. For me, the new Online Builder isn't that. And that's the problem. But I am not basing this on a "sense of entitlement" like "they have promised this" or "it is legally required to do so". Nor is the fact that they need to protect themselves against piracy a concern for me, or that it was always cheap. They were probably caught between a rock and a hard place, but it wasn't my fault that they decided to switch to an online character builder and couldn't get it out in time. I know what I want, and this software is further away from what I want then the old software was. Sure, I wanted Dark Sun support. Essential support is nice. But I wanted character building to stay a fun and enjoyable experience, and it's not, and it might not be for quite some time now until they fix all the issues. At least I have an idea why they haven't come around to fix the [url]www.wizards.com/dnd[/url] side for non-English users - they are busy squatting bugs in the CB. I kinda see that's more important.
