Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 5379318">I love how WotC is made out to be such an "evil empire" in topics like these.  I mean, they might as well be kidnapping our children and clubbing baby seals(I'm looking at you Canada!...or should I say Evilada?). In any case, I'm not happy with the new CB, but I don't hate it.  And I hardly have the energy to feel so maligned as some of you do against WotC.  Yes, books get updated rather quickly, D&D is a living, breathing game that is constantly in flux.  Look at WoW, it's a fixed system(in that you can only play it one way), and they push out updates, bug fixes, changes, minor patches every week.  With a comprable number of people playing and an even greater amount of information(IMO) it's hardly surprising that a book, a printed, uneditable document, would get updated rather frequently and rather often. Wizards will recat to our words(when they're not blind rage), and our spending habits.  So yes, if you are unhappy with their moves, tell them this and stop spending your money on them.  However, if you're going to bop wizards on the nose and scold them, remember that you must likewise reward them when they do what you want. If you take the "Wizards fired us!" attitude, you're not going to get anything because the more you play games based off Wizard's systems without supporting Wizards, the more they're going to clamp down on those other games.  Don't bite the hand that feeds you. As for the CB2 in particular, it was the FIRST DAY guys.  Really now, there hasn't been a single program in the last 20 years I can think of that ran PERFECTLY on day one.  Even the CB1 crashes and randomly closes sometimes, and it's been out for nearly 2 years now?  The fact that you can recover an unsaved character, IMO, makes up for a lot of that as even the old CB will lose all your data if a crash happens, NO recovery. I'm not saying you need to love everything WotC does, far from it, but stop expecting perfection, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.</blockquote>
