[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 4432046, member: 14197"] As I wander through threads past and present, I am seeing a trend that doesn't seem to make any sense. It appears as though posters are attributing statements by WOTC as promises. I even saw in a new thread today (in a good thread BTW) a statement that "if WOTC keeps their word"... There's even a thread about Promises, Promises.... I have been involved in a number of businesses, where you state a number of goals, even create detailed execution plans, and then for some reason business or priorities change what you originally planned. If I said "my company is planning x, y, z" or even "for each of our customer bases, we will be releasing x,y" and then something changes, it doesn't mean that promises were broken. It simply means that the business plan got altered and something needed to change. For some print publications, editorial calendars change halfway through the year (hopefully, rarely). For software development companies, features are added and removed. For manufacturing companies, some lines are dropped before they go into mass production. Why is it that we hang so heavily on the words of WOTC, ascribing their plans as promises? [/QUOTE]
