[QUOTE="n00bdragon, post: 5959853, member: 6689371"] I don't really see splitting the base as a problem. If the internet can teach anything it's that different people have nigh irreconcilable differences in what they prefer and why. If WotC was up front about the fact that they were making a "retro" edition out of 5e and said "Don't worry 4e fans. We'll be back with something slick and modern in 6e, but right now we're doing this." I'd be okay with that. But instead they keep chanting this increasingly hollow mantra of "This will be the edition for everyone." They need to pick an audience for the product and aim squarely at it. Haters gonna hate so you might as well make exactly what that audience wants to see and not worry about trying to force the people who hate broccoli to eat broccoli. [/QUOTE]
