[QUOTE="shadow, post: 1303211, member: 2182"] I voted very unhappy. I was really happy with WotC when 3e was first released about 3 years ago. However, I've become really angry at the direction that D&D is taking. Ever since 3.$e was released last year, I've quit buying D&D and d20 products all together. It seems just as everyone was finally getting the 3e rules down, WotC comes out with a new edition. I'm hard pressed to shell out another $90 for a new edition of the core rules, especially since the revisions seem very cobbled together and not really thought out. Unlike many other people, I can't think of a single revised rule that I like: I hate the new weapon rules, hate the "nerfing" of the wizard spells, and even the much lauded revised ranger seems rather half-baked to me (they kept the virtual feats, but now players have a choice of two-weapon fighting virtual feats, OR archery virtual feats). I also don't really care for the new miniature line. The cheap plastic, bad paintjobs, and randomness really are turn offs for me. I wouldn't mind them as much, but the recent emphasis on miniatures is really annoying. Sure it's possible to play without miniatures, but the core books go out of their way to make it look like miniatures (with official D&D miniatures of course) are the only way to play. [/QUOTE]
