[QUOTE="Nikmal, post: 5914916, member: 12225"] 5E will not be as successful as it possibly could be if it fails to bring in the players they lost! Right now D&D is the second best in sales to another role playing game company. In ALL the years previous to 4E this has NEVER happened before. 4E comes out and they fractured their fan base and lost over half of their fans. All in the name of trying to get new/er players in to their game. This was not necessarily a bad thing but in the long run it worked for some part but not as well as was originally hoped. This game is not a video game, treating it like it is a video type of character where there is PvP and PvE type of mentality, where there needs to be balance across all the classes is what is part of the fracture (among other things too) that made it a mistake in my own opinion. I am NOT saying 4E is modeled after a video game per se but I think that trying to achieve balance is trying to become like one though. If I wanted that I would pay for that.
