[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9325819, member: 7006"] At the end of the day... if any individual has particular issues with how 5E plays, their choices or solutions in the matter are not that widespread. They either suck it up and play the game they have issues with... they spend a certain amount of time either adjusting 5E themselves to fit their preferences or a certain amount of time looking for a group out there in the world that has adjusted 5E already and their preferences luckily match... or they change games altogether to one that is a better fit and then put in the work to find other players interested in playing that other game as well. These are all viable solutions to the problem. The one solution that isn't viable though is bringing up the issues in places like this and expecting WotC to change the game to "fix" them so that 5E becomes the game they want. Because they are just one person out of the hundreds of thousands of players out there and their issues are not universal. Not even close. So even when bringing the issues up to WotC in the one location where they might get looked at more closely-- the playtest surveys-- they are still one person trying to alter the direction of the aircraft carrier. It doesn't work. (General) you needs to be one of tens of thousands of people who all have the same issue and all bring the issue up and [I]maybe[/I] an adjustment will get made "officially" by WotC down the line. But if you just sit on your hands waiting for it to happen, you will be miserable for years. It's not worth it. 5E as a game isn't worth it. The sooner we all accept the reality of this 5E situation we are in and can solve our own problems, the happier sooner we all will be. [/QUOTE]
