To answer your question, I believe in every fiber of my being that WotC published the 3.5 revision because selling core rulebooks is the surefire way to sell more books. While inviting 3rd party publishers to buy wholesale into 3E, they don't seem to have considered at all the damage that 3.5 would have on those same publishers and their products. Now maybe Hasbro pressured them. Maybe they had no choice. I have no idea and I'm not saying they are evil or corrupt or any of those things. I am merely saying that it cost them some amount of trust, at least in my case and I think in others as well. What I can guarantee you is that there would be much much less rancor over the release of 4th Editon if there hadn't been the 3.5 revision, and for that reason alone it seems it was a bad idea. I would point out that Scott Rouse, from WotC posting on their boards "there will be NO 4.5" is evidence that they know it was a screwup from a customer relations standpoint.I'm editing this because I have just read your last post which wasn't present while I was posting what I have written above. While you obviously don't agree with me (and I think you make some good points by the way) I find your tone insulting and I don't enjoy my ideas, which I spent a long time thinking about, phrasing, and then typing up being followed by dismissive phrases such as "please"... lets just disagree and move on.</blockquote>
