[QUOTE="enrious, post: 5795243, member: 2126"] Why do you think WotC only sees a divide between 4e players and Pathfinder players, to the exclusion of 3e players, even granting your supposition that 4e & Pathfinder are responsible for the majority of fantasy gamers? In other words, what evidence is there to suggest that WotC is ignoring or minimizing the opinions, views, or thoughts of 3e players in lieu of 4e and Pathfinder players? You go on to say that WotC would like to get Pathfinder players back into the fold. Well yeah, they want to have as many players as they can playing 5e, but here's the rub: [b]They want players of all editions of D&D, players of other games, and people who've never played a RPG to be playing 5e![/b] I wouldn't be so quick to accuse WotC of jumping on the open playtesting bandwagon just because Paizo did it; there are plenty of logical reasons to do so (especially given how they treated 4e playtesting) - and it doesn't necessarily have to have Pathfinder as a reason. That's a slippery slope to start sliding down. [/QUOTE]
