[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 1294068, member: 7394"] OK, so, if the first announcement of 3.5 is an outright lie, lets look at the announcement and figure out where that lie supposedly is. [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20021206x[/url] If this part is a lie, that would imply that Wizards of the Coast doesn't listen to its customers. I can vouch for them that the voices of those who would suggest improvements are listened to. When trends begin to show themselves, or are revealed through gameplay, such as the issue with the [I]harm [/I] spell, people know about it. Again, I'm having a hard time finding the lie in this statement. Based on my observations, this is 100% true. Again, all true. Gameplay is improved in many ways by fixing broken mechanics and including new information (see my earlier post). The books were available in July. Many of the changes were available in Dragon Magazine and on the website. Sincere gratitude for the hundred or so emails a day from fans of the game. Still not a lie. This press release was written by the business team. So, I would very much appreciate it if you could point out the untruth of any of the above statements. I can understand that you feel you don't need the revision because you've already fixed the bugs in your game. That's perfectly understandable. Its the mark of a smart gamer who is capable of tweaking the system to fit their style. Regardless, I can tell you with the utmost confidence that there is a small army of gamers out there who won't rest unless they've gotten the "official" interpretation of a rule. This unfortunately shows that some people are unable to move beyond the ink on the page or use the rule of common sense. The decision to not buy something because you don't need it is much different than the assertion that the mean, evil, money grubbing corporation has lied to you. That is why I question the 3.5 backlash. [/QUOTE]
