RenFaire? average board game? comic books? how much money have you spent at Blockbuster in the last month? PC/PS2/XBox/GameCube games?if you're griping about the cost of a new revised (and i'm betting, likely to be improved) issue of the books that likely give you the most consistently good time that you've had in the last several years, then you're ungrateful at best. what you are at worst, i won't post here out of respect for Eric's Grandma.get a grip already. it's call progress. it's really funny how everyone ALWAYS complains whenever something new happens. this irrational fear of change is really pathetic and all too common. especially considering how essential it is to human survival and sanity.as for this person from south africa complaining about world politics and economics and exchange rates, take it up with your government and don't hold WotC responsible. your money is devalued. it happens. deal. and as an aside, don't try to make it sound like you're paying US$300 for it. you're not. begging for sympathy is just sad. and before you get all high and mighty; my home country has a <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />ty conversion rate too.the bottom line. if you want the enjoyment, pay. entertainment costs money. otherwise, go to a free park, and stick to the books that you already own. ~NegZ</blockquote>
