[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 669392, member: 184"] Balance, and issues of its ilk, though very much on the forefront of this most important of topics concerning everything d20, are not all that is, or will in the future be, discussed in the time it takes for this change, and the ripple effect that comes of it, to come about. It would seem to me that the 3.5 movement was in fact not brought forth to subjugate, nor to alienate, the existing d20 populous, as this would not lie within the bounds of preference for those who would rather see such a thing prosper. Indeed, the end rarely justifies the means, and is it worth removing the leg to simply save the foot? Is change always necessary? No, not always, but there comes a time when change is both relevant and, when placed in the context in which it is most appropriate to the user in question. Speculations concerning the whyfores and wherenots of the nomenclature for such a movement are somewhat unreasonable, even if not completely expected from the masses. Such is at the same time, both quite trivial and terrible important, and therefore should be decided forthright so that further speculation concerning the body of the movement itself, along with all of the rumors and innuendos, verified or not. The effects to community at large, including but not to confined to, the user, the creator, the retailer, as well as others associated in any way to the hobby in general, is as yet unknown, and though speculation abounds, and similar past experience is brought forth and discussed in media such as this congregation and others, as well as chat rooms and magazines and talk about the gaming table, logic dictates that such arguments can only be inconclusive until such time that said changes are, in fact, brought about.
