Couldn't disagree with you more.
Armour has always worked this way, sure 1E & 2E used THAC0 rather than the current system, but other than how it is calculated, it is essentially identical. 5E actually has a feat which makes armour absorb some of the damage, it doesn't scale at all, and is a bit rubbish past the first couple of levels, but it is there.
Magic is much more flexible in 5E because you don't have to learn four fireballs to cast four fireballs, so you can have a much better range. Now I will grant you that you get less spells because school specialisation doesn't give extra spells and nor do you get bonus spells from having a high attribute. There are also rituals which allow you to cast for free if you have the time. I do think they were too stingy on what is and what is not a ritual, but meh...
3.5E (and 3E) both had horrific min/maxing, search for Pun Pun the Kobold if you don't believe me, now that was some seriously head boggling min/maxing.
5E has problems (oh so many problems), but if someone asked me to play 1,2 or 3E D&D it would take a great deal of whining to get me to.
So your problem isn't with 5e, it's with DnD. You didn't indicate that.
+1. The best thing 3.5 ever did was spawn Pathfinder.
Armor in D&D does reduce damage, though, by increasing your chance of not getting hit. Sure sure, that's not what you mean, but it does functionally reduce the damage you're going to take in a fight, and the AC system does a fair enough job of abstracting either being dodgy as heck or equipped like an M1A1 tank, in a straightforward manner.
Compare that to WoD, where dodging and tanking hits are divided into two systems, and both are pointless in the face of a combat optimised character.
Other systems, like Shadowrun, Exalted, L5R, Scion all have systems that are either non factors like WoD, or add complexity to already complex games. Maybe some people like that complexity, but DnD has clearly gone for a streamlined system in 5e, so AC fills its function no worse or better, really, than a multitude of other systems, without breaking the requirement of not being complex.
Yes, it's obvious you'd rather listen to low-rent YouTubers rant about Wotc. Pinkertons sent to recover illegal possession of unreleased Magic cards. Wow. A company protecting it's IP.
No, I listen to reality, and some things are just beyond the pale that should not be ignored and/or defended. Such as criminal behavior.
Criminal like broadcasting a company's IP before release?
That's not illegal since the YouTuber in question never signed anything, bought the cards legitimately and was not part of the embargo at all. The YouTuber did everything legitimately.
Sending the Pinkertons to intimidate him and attempting to break into his house and threatening his wife is blatantly criminal and I find it utterly baffling that you think that that is an acceptable chain of events in response to a missed phone call.
Again, you are going solely on the word of a 'YouTuber.' He is technically savvy... where is the Ring recording or video evidence of this being the actual case?
Or do you just believe everything you read?
It was not legally obtained. The shipper sent it by mistake. He had no right to broadcast the cards before release.
Regardless of the respective legality, it's very concerning that you're much more inclined to demonize a private citizen hoping for a scoop, but entirely okay with major corporations sending a private merc group after them. Is that something you want corporations to be able to do? That's some dystopian ♥♥♥♥.
And you are taking the word of a big business with way too much power and no scruples, as proven by the OGL debacle that happened only a few months ago, and defending them from blatant criminal behavior to the point you are trying to blame the victim for the crime.
You are defending sending thugs to threaten a man's wife and him over cards that were about to be released a week later.
Let's say you received a product and started showing it off and I was the maker of that product and found out about it. You bought the product legitimately and somewhere in my supply chain someone messed up and sent them to you early. I give you a phone call, you don't recognize the call so you don't answer it. Am I in my rights to hire the Pinkertons to go to your house and threaten you and your family, then? After all, I'm only defending my IP and my brand, right?
I would never dream of broadcasting someone's intellectual product before release. He knew what he was doing. He knew he was breaking copyright.
I could give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about the OGL. Just like 98% of D&D players.
Keep arguing in hypotheticals. I'll wait for more info or evidence.
It's pretty D&D to send some thugs to one's house no?
The broadcasting was not an issue because it wasn't illegal. There are steps to be taken before sending Pinkertons.
A phone call initially, yes, and you can expect they wouldn't answer it if they don't recognize the phone number. Happens all the time. Contact YouTube with a copyright strike and have the videos taken down that way. Send a representative to the YouTuber and make a deal with them to use them in an ad campaign and ask them to take the videos down until then.
Or, just deal with it and crack down on the supply chain and find out where and who made the mistake of sending the cards early and just chalk it up for a loss and call it free advertising.
Any of those things would be far preferable than sending the Pinkertons to his house, an organization well-known and rather infamous as being thugs to the point that they are the villains in other video games like Red Dead Redemption, and 100% justifiably seen as villains based on their historic actions, such as violently union-busting for the corporations in the 1800's.
Even if things didn't go as is being reported, the very act of sending the Pinkertons in and of itself is intimidation, and is way too far for what boils down to a deck of magic cards.
I could care less if this was intimidating to this YouTuber. He tried to profit of an unreleased IP worth millions of dollars. Big corps protect their IPs. Quit being idealistic about this situation.
Heck, this is Cyberpunk level of dystopia.
