[QUOTE="OB1, post: 9442747, member: 6796241"] It certainly isn't impossible to stay all 2014 with DDB, and 'much harder' is subjective. For those who feel their game is 'ruined' by having the updated spells, it's a matter of creating possibly a dozen or so homebrewed spells (or selecting ones created by other users). As it stands, you have 3 options moving forward, 2 of which won't cost you a dime. Stay all 2014 and homebrew spells to add to your character sheet, while using the compendium for other 2014 rules. Stick with 2014 PCs and use updated spells and rules. Switch to 2024 PCs and rules (requiring new cost for the user) I still don't understand how getting some 2024 rules for free forces or makes it more likely that someone spends more money to upgrade fully to 2024. Internet polls on fan sites or social media don't come close to the evidence that DDB has and the former carries enough bias to make it worthless for actual decision making. For example, DDB knows for certain how many 2014 PHB owners have already purchased 2024. They may also have conducted polling on the features, focus group tested the features, and playtested them before making the decision. Again, maybe they read their data wrong, and enough people will make it clear that they want the feature that they'll change course, time will tell. If enough people cancel their monthly subscription because it's no longer worth paying for it without an option to use 2014 spells/rules with a toggel, I expect DDB to spend the resources to retain those customers.
