You said, "in an odd way this whole trend is taking people's choices away".

Elaborate.

And, understand, I didn't jump on your comment because I think you're a crazy person. I just don't understand where you're coming from.

DDO as it is now isn't very different from the way it was a few months ago. The only difference now is I'm not paying a monthly fee.

As for LOTRO and the "Adventure Pack" I don't see that as a harm either. It's some extra character slots, shared storage and a goat. None of those things give a player a leg up on any other player. They're an extra thing you can tack on to your subscription.

As for correcting a D20, yeah. Well, some folks cheat. Personally, I'm not interested in buying things from item shops that make a game easier. That's just me and, I imagine, you. But, these games, they're not a competition.
