[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4555217, member: 70778"] And IF somehow I was making 5th edition, I wouldn't give a rats' ass anymore about those people than WotC cared about the people that the changes in 4th would turn them away. I would just remove the chaff from the wheat and keep the wheat and discard the chaff. I wouldn't make a game for people that didn't like the game to begin with and needed everything changed. Pampering to people that didn't like D&D to begin with to cause as much change as was done to 4th is the whole problem. They didn't play D&D before, they don't play it now. So what? I don't care about them. I would not make/change a game to win some popularity contest. I would make the game work better to solve the problems it had/has. That would mean discarding a lot from 4th, and any player who clings to the new garbage like healing surges, tieflings and dragonborn as core races, etc; would be included in that discard. There is the OGL for people that want to take some edition of D&D and make their own perfect edition, so let the do so. My 5th won't cater to people wanting to play D&D to be cool, but those wanting to play D&D because they like D&D. If you don't like D&D, then your opinion wouldn't matter to me. I wouldn't change the game for you and discard decades worth of valued customers for some new unknowns that really are more risk than they are worth to pamper.
