No because we are still part of the aggregate, and if we along with the redditors and the rest vote with our wallets, collectively we matter. What I was specifically referring to is direction. WotC should not worry about what we -- people playing for 40 years, with 40 years of hard coded...

We have seen WotC respond to fan movements on a few occasions. Whether ENWorld matters is really more of a question of whether old fogies matter (hint: we don't, and probably shouldn't).

The OP here is worth the read for both those that were there and those who have since discovered D&D.

Serious question: why would you want that?

Cute.

This isn't really true "D&D" is a brand and only WotC can control what it looks like going forward. This is why it is important for folks to both vote with their wallets and let WotCknow what they like and don't. Admittedly, this is harder when WotC won't put out books...

Whether official D&D is in a better place than it was 3 years ago is an open question, but I think it is clear that the heroic fantasy TTRPG space is definitely better off with more games (and more gamers) than ever before.

Worries about control spells being "unfun" is why the game has turned into nothing but hit point attrition.

I think we can all agree that 4E is the best edition of Champions.

How hard should hard be?

We should all remember that LLMs are trained on us. As it relates to D&D, that is probably literal: it's D&D understanding comes from decades of archives of message board content and, more recently, YouTube content. An AI GM is going to be an aggregate of the internet's ideas of what GMing is...

I think the difference would be lost on 99% of folks.

For goodness sake...

So when we started this campaign, I was very clear with the players that the goal was to fast level to "test out" D&D 2024 at all tiers, with the intended Final Battle against the BBEG occurring in tier 4. But the actual trajectory of the campaign was up to them: they had a goal from level 1...

For sure. Some of my generation's (GenX) coolest stories were built to sell toys and nothing else.

Art always means something, even pop-art.

Things cost what people will pay for them.

No it doesn't. We have been playing this campaign for a year, and it has been arcing toward the climax. That is how campaigns work.

You don't like Star Wars. We get it.

Of course, the best collection of official D&D religions and pantheons is from Eberron -- as with most things.
