[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7273198, member: 2525"] There is this ongoing idea that if pages are spent on stuff people don't like that it's "wasted". That the space would have been used for something you do like. As opposed to simply not having those pages at all, or those pages being filled with other stuff you don't like. AL isn't that small a subset of players, and it often represents the greatest source of NEW players. Which for this edition has been huge. The overwhelming majority would buy the same product even if it didn't have those pages at all. I don't think it's making them a lot more money to reprint it. Actually they've made it pretty darn clear that quality of product is what counts more than quantity with this edition. They're just not servicing YOUR tastes as much as some other editions did, and you're doing that thing you've done so many times this past three years on this message board - assume your tastes are nearly universal or much more common than they are :) They've sold more than 3e and 4e combined with 5e, and D&D is as popular now as it was at it's peak in the early 80s and more popular than it's been for the past 30 years. You keep pushing this weird agenda of yours to claim the game isn't doing nearly as well as we can all see for ourselves it is doing. Maybe try a different tactic for once? This one isn't working anymore. Or keep doing it, and keep getting eye rolls? [/QUOTE]
