Crypt card redesign

Correct. However my opinion is just as valid as everyone elses.

I mean when you see the card from the other side of the table.

Yes, looking cross table and seeing a vampire with a wall of text is likely to raise questions: "What does he do again?", "Oh nothing. it's just a wall of flavour text".

It's not like something is being removed here; Vampires have never had flavour text, Why introduce it? It increase workload by requiring someone to edit and source flavour text for 300+ vampires and adds noise to an already complex game.

It makes a lot sense that a vampire with a "special" looks different to a generic vampire. There's something different about them; this is a indirect way of highlighting that difference.

Here are several of my "friends" (using mtg as example):

It's kind of pointless to have discussion when one side desided to ignore reality.

Because it's cool. It's the only reason to do anything and it trumps any objections (God save me from discussions of cross table apperance of vampire with a text, when really even picture is not clearly recognized under pile of blood counters).

Interesting... However VTES has been around nearly as long as MtG and there are no sites dedicated to flavour text nor is the contents and context of flavour text discussed anywhere. Possibly because VTES already has a rich theme setting in WoD and there's plenty of actual source material to read.

To me your "evidence" clearly tells me that VTES players don't care about flavour text, otherwise we should see equivalent sites and forum threads dedicated to flavour text.
