I have my doubts that I will buy 5e myself. I don't really have any petty reasons for that position that I can think of. I just can't imagine it being more fun than the game I have and enjoy playing (4e). My home game has been on hold for close to 3 years going on now, but may begin again in the near future. We left the game (which was incredibly fun, memorable, and epic) having just hit paragon level. I can't think that 5e will scratch the itch that me and my players enjoy.But I haven't decided yet. I do think that WotC have done a really good job in at least keeping my curiosity alive in the new edition. I am going to hold off on having any opinion until I get a good understanding of what the PHB contains, what the DMG contains, what the MM contains and see if the elements I look for in a game are able to be added. If they are, and elements of design that are jarring in 4e (e.g. magic items) have been improved, then I may reconsider my position. If not, I am okay with that and wish them all the best. I will see what I can pinch and steal to make my game better and carry on.If I ever get to play 5e because someone else is running it, and for whatever reasn I am invited I'll play more than happily. But I could say that about probably any edition or RPG game, all of which remain at heart about going on an exciting adventure and doing cool things.</blockquote>
