There are clearly some misgivings with the design direction taken with the original 4E team and at this point WotC is trying to bring back some of those classic elements that 4E was missing. Would WotC want to market those things toward the demographic that preferred and criticized 4E for missing those elements? Sure. That's what the whole Red Box style is about. But, is the design change simply a marketing ploy? I don't think so. I think it's a legitimate change in design philosophy and WotC is using marketing to support that design philosophy.</blockquote>
