[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 7479792, member: 22103"] I don't agree. If anything, WotC's business model for 5E has been to ask for feedback every step of the way. They did an open playtest, they are releasing free content (UA), they take polls after each UA article, heck, they are even now offering "beta" content on DMS Guild (the new Eberron Guide) to see how it is received and make updates based on the feedback. So to say we shouldn't discuss WotC's release schedule is ludicrous. If enough people speak up on social media, in the polls, etc. and say that 5E is lacking in crunch/customization options, you bet WotC will listen. I'd argue they already have in some respect with the release of Xanathar's Guide. I'm definitely in the camp where I would love to see some deeper customization options. 5E is my favorite edition by far (and I've played them ALL) but that doesn't mean there isn't anything else I want. What really frustrated me is the recent Twitter response about the Revised Ranger. I'd be ok if WotC's explanation was something like "we evaluated the feedback and felt that while some players have concerns with the Ranger, there wasn't enough to warrant a lot of our bandwidth at this time to continue the Revised Ranger project." But instead it was a slap in the face and completely contrary to WotC's stance on soliciting feedback up to this point.
