I have to support Tuco and how he feels, even though I know those changes are optional. The thing that bothers me is that all those big changes to the classic formula dropped out of nowhere RIGHT AFTER the dirty bear sex marketing trick that lured a lot of passing casual onlookers on a quest to do some bear banging shenanigans. It is like they did the actual DnD community dirty by being silent for several years and letting us play a COMPLETELY different game then luring some 'connoisseur of fun gaming' and dropping the biggest bomb of changes to appeal to THEM, not the fans of the source material. Changes like this should have been transparent to the community all this long-long time, period.

THIS. Exactly this, but with the balance swung dramatically to appeal the general audience and make everything for them as easy and with as few restrictions as possible so that they could feel themselves at home.
While I am not a classic DnD fan myself (having been drawn to BG3 due to a general love of RPGs and DOS2), I do think that the classic DnD tabletop lovers have gotten shafted more than other segments of the fanbase.
EDIT: I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS DISCUSSION BUT THIS DIAL-UP ASS WEBSITE IS MAKING ME FEEL YOUNG AGAIN AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY
