[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 5581710, member: 28487"] I think peoples individual preferences were well establsihed when every second thread on the General forum was a 5e thread. On the other hand, while re-iterating ones own preferences may be fun it generates more heat than light. The key question for 5e is how does Wizards make money out of it. The traditional model was a crunch heavy game with money made from lots of splat books. 4e initially started out that way but there are some grounds for believing there is a limit to such an apporach. DDI is an alternative way on monetising the game, and one that WoTC has only barely explored. It is still unknown how they intend to market the VTT for example. My own belief is that there will not be 5e until they have nailed down the online support ecology and how to market it. Not to mention what they do about the online aspects of 4e. [/QUOTE]
