[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6621260, member: 7006"] But if you aren't playing the game right now... you have no momentum. You aren't interested. You [i]aren't[/i] in 'Limbo'... you aren't playing the game. Which of course is fine. You don't want to play the game because it doesn't fit your needs. No big deal. But you know what WotC's current policies are-- they've been quite up-front about it. So if you still keep "hanging around" waiting for WotC to catch up to what your expectations for the game are... that's [i]on you[/i]. You're putting [i]yourself[/i] into 'Limbo' because even though the game isn't what you want it to be (since apparently it looks like you need to have 'X' amount of stuff available before you can consider it a true game you are willing to play)... you also aren't just stopping and going elsewhere. You can try and blame WotC for that all you want... but it isn't their problem. It's yours. You're making yourself irritated because you won't let go. You seem to just think that if you hang around long enough, WotC will come around. Which... truth be told... is in fact true. At some point, WotC WILL have released enough 5E product to reach this 'X' you have in your head of what is required to warrant playing the game. The question just comes down to "Do I leave 5E now and come back in five years when I can buy everything I want to play the type of D&D game I want... or do I just make myself miserable by hanging around staring at this pot waiting for it to eventually boil?" You can answer the question whichever way you want... but just don't expect sympathy from WotC or some of the rest of us if we don't agree with your answer. [/QUOTE]
