[QUOTE="Raith5, post: 5902653, member: 56051"] I think there are two reasons why I would not buy D&DN: 1) if the game is not able to surpass or replicate my preferred edition (which in my case is 4th) or 2) if the playtest was sham. I mean not everyone is going get what they like as core and there will be some issues where there will be dissatisfied minorities. But unless there is some dialogue and serious engagement with the D&D community in the beta phase then I cant see why people would buy into the edition and (more importantly) WOTC will miss out on particular sub markets in the roleplaying community. I think with 4th ed they leant the lesson that they need to capture the existing D&D membership rather than try to convert WOW players etc, who were a hypothetical market. Also on a more positive front, the D&D community is a great resource to test ideas upon! So I dont think they will ignore community opinion, even if not everyone will be happy with the end product.
