Do you think 6 months are enough for playtesting?

[QUOTE="Waylander the Slayer, post: 3732842, member: 1830"] It's pretty obvious that the schedule for 4E got moved up, probably by a year for whatever reason. It's also been stated that most of the product development has been over the last year. Also, even the playtesting blogs are so vague; some of the playtesting is also bordering on the absurd (why are they "playtesting" classes that might not even be in the PHB for example?). A lot of sounds very inventive, but if 3E, after all that playtesting needed 3.5 E, I am sure that 4E is going to be worse regardless of whether most of the concepts have already been put out there in other books [no one can truly predict the interaction between concepts in IH/9S/SAGA for example). And also remember that we are supposed to get the "preview books" in a couple of months. Anything in it is not going to be play tested at all. I think playtesting and the related systems got thrown out of WOTC with the "releasing" of the old guard. [/QUOTE]
