It really is irrelevant at this point, Wizard's last set comes in a months time, and they are out of the picture. Attitudes will improve, and the bickering will focus on the V set creators instead. You forget that most die hard gamers and Star Wars fans are usually on the geeky side, and well complain is what we do best!

Lol, I guess you're right, but I hope people don't start bickering at the V-set creators, because what there doing is alot better then what wizards as done.

Yeah, In all honesty I think the V set guys will handle the job with class and show Wotc what passion for a genera or in this case game, can be done to be succesful, and keep the fans/customers happy. Corporate red tape, and the unavoidable bottom line, really hurt these type of things. Who knows better than the customer what they want? Corporations like to try, but that is also why so many fail time and time again.

The funny thing is that even though the V-set designers will do a better job than Wizards, we'll get a bunch of uninformed whiners saying "This sucks I quit! Wizards did it so much better," when they didn't get all 150 characters they wanted in a 60 piece set.

@The OP:

I think the fact that wizards does suck is the bright side. Sure, it's a great game, but there's so many things that could have been much better with just a micron more effort. It's the bright side because really, in terms of handling a game, the p***(urine)-poor job wizards did (reletive to how simply it could have been much better) will be easily bested by some of the best minds in the game, who are over at gamers btw (in addition to some of them being around here.)

It's the bright side because much of that (rightly complained against) Wizards BS we will no longer have to deal with. If people get disappointed with V-sets for some reason, it'd be important for them to look back at how poorly wizards did and how little they cared, and our perpetuation of hatin' on Wizards will allow them to see that. Maybe what might be good instead is a giant list of grievances stickied at the top of the forum so people can see why the game will be in much better hands than Wizards'

The fact that it is a great game does not make up for the almost intentional lack of realization of its potential. It's like having an undercooked pizza that's still pretty good even though the chef took it out of the oven, knowing it was still too early, because he didn't want to deal with it anymore.

I personally agree with Uggie Demo. I think it would be the right thing to do; to not begrudge the Wizards. They have problems like everyone else in the world.

We should be thankful for their support and time put into this game.

My personal opinion.

@ Admerialmotii:
I agree with you, Wizards dropping the game might be a good thing, but we dont need to keep sulking on the fact that they stopped the game.

I still can't wait for the first V-set!!!!

"uniformed whiners?" Really? Wow, so I guess now if we like what WOTC did better, we get labeled as uniformed whiners. No, you're right, if we don't like V-sets, we suck. Maybe I liked what Wizards did with minis, and while I may not be happy with them pulling out, I'm sure they had a tough job. It's hard playtesting figs, and with tons of people demanding they make different figs, it's hard to make something to please everyone.

Yeah, 2 people playtesting sets is a real strain on WOTC...

If you would have actually read my post, instead of going out of your way trying to get offended (boredom?), you would have noticed that I was speaking of those who have unreasonable expectations: "when they didn't get all 150 characters they wanted in a 60 piece set." Did you ignore that part? I know I post long posts, but before accusing me of something I think you could at least be decent and read more than just the first few lines.

Anyways, it's cool that you can look past all of the terrible proofreading and overall lack of give-a-hoot that wizards had. Maybe you're a glass half full kinda person. That's cool. But for me, I see all the places where with just a tiny bit more effort we could have a a much better product.

Now at Gamers, we have a group not bound by contract to put a Vader or whatever in every set, a group that knows more about balance and is more creative than the wizards designers ever were, a group that is actually motivated to do a good job, and a group that actually gives a darn what the players want. How could it NOT be better than the lazy and unconcerned WotC?

Look at my pizza example above, that's how I would answer that question. In some ways I feel that to do something right you have to do the best you can with what you have. Wizards sure as shootin' didn;t even come close. But, the game still is pretty fun.
