But I wouldn'T want to, because not having a compendium makes my life as a DM an player harder. Not having a CB makes my live as player harder. WotC has published an awful amount of stuff for each class, build and regarding items and everything. Collection that among all those books requires huge amounts of time. And I like to DM 4e because it does NOT require so much time.Surely no one forces you do quit playing 4e if the software does not work anymore. Anyone can still play it. But I don't really want to anymore at that point. It's currently nasty enough with the bad usability of the CB and to some extend also the compendium.The 4e tools provided a real improvement to rpgs, so you could say, you'll drop back to normal again. but I don't thing other rpgs or editions of D&D have gotten such a vast amount of books you have to consider and so I think 4e in this way would not have been possible with all those tools.</blockquote>
