[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9167424, member: 7023840"] You seem determined to keep arguing this point, Alzrius. So I'm going to point this out- you wish to keep saying that there is "evidence to the contrary." But that's not true. There is [I]no evidence [/I]that WoTC would [I]do better[/I] with a faster release schedule, because this has been [I]the most successful edition of D&D ever[/I]. Everything else ... is just noise. So if you wish to keep saying, "I would like WoTC to make more books, because I, Alzrius, play 5e, and I want more official content" then that is totally fine! That's a preference. And other people can argue that they like the current model. And people could probably argue that they want less material, too! But there is no actual evidence. All we have as actual evidence is that the current release model has resulted in the best-selling edition ever. And after we get past the whole, "Correlation is not causation," we can then understand that people are arguing that either the status quo is preferable (don't rock the boat when things seem to be working out) or they are saying that WoTC should take a chance (make more $$$, yo!). But none of us is actually privvy to the internal numbers that WoTC is relying on. Or there calculations regarding the long-term strategy and health of the brand. So couching your arguments as somehow evidence-based is not appropriate. [/QUOTE]
