[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4424540, member: 54846"] A better question: How many would you [I]expect[/I]? You're only going to buy the books you want. And you can obviously buy them. You're not going to need a second Complete Adventurer down the road, are you? Good thing they're sittin' there on your shelf, then. "Because I'm human, and therefore emotional" doesn't really, uh, answer the question on a [I]rational[/I] level. Speculation, reminiscent, is one thing. Gnashing of teeth, being upset, and wanting/expecting a company to continue something that's just not a good idea is another. If your favorite restaurant wasn't getting enough customers, would you expect them, and complain about them not staying open because you still liked the food? Would you expect or complain about your favorite band not making more music/touring if not enough people are buying the CDs/tour tickets to make the ends meet? So, the suggestion is that the company should print more of the books, even though they will sell much rarer than they used to? And do you honestly think that would change if 3.5 was still being printed, on gaming store shelves, besides the 4e books? [/QUOTE]
