Fatal Ace, I see your point. But it's not the "This product was bad because of that", it's the attitude behind it.
I get the impression that there are a few people who feel that they are better than all the rest of us.
For example, when the announcement was made that the price was coming down on the 1 on 1 in question, the first response was something like "still not low enough".
What kind of attitude is that? When was the last time you've seen a sales shop lower the price of a product within 48 hours of a release because of a few complaints? As it was said before, T11, did not have to do that.
It just seems to me that if you don't like a product, fine, state that you don't and why. But that's not what was put out.
What was put out were things like "We must protect the noobies", "Go watch it on youtube", "PM me and I'll tell you how it's done". This, after a number of postings about "exposure will kill magic".
It's just plain egotistical and hypocritial. That's the problem. Even in this thread, when someone what venting about this very thing, there was a crack about someone bucking for a mod postition. What kind of attitude is that?
Even someone claiming that it shouldn't be shown because it's "public domain". How egotistical is that? Look, as someone who's done hypnosis for years, I've seen thousands of books as to how it's done. Thousands of different ways to make someone do something for you.
Well, here it is: you relax someone and make a suggestion. There. That's it. That's the big secret to hypnosis. Now you don't have to buy a lot of books or pay instructors to teach you. That's all there is too it.
The point is that the people saying "I don't like it", is fine, but the problems were not that it wasn't liked, it was the blantet, overblown egos behind it. Add to that the attitude of "This is what is going to end T11". (Paraphrasing a statement someone said), and the insults to the people who disagreed with them.
It's not the "this isn't a good product", it's the superiority complex behind it.
