Is it time to put the "A" back before D&D?

[QUOTE="Razz, post: 2914311, member: 3014"] I agree with you wholeheartedly about the situation with D&D now. I noticed the shift in focus from when [B]Races of Destiny[/B] was released and onward. I used to buy EVERY WotC book (well the general and FR books that is) and it's been getting so bad now that I am refusing to buy 2 books, Mysteries of the Moonsea and Monster Manual 4. The shift in focus is leaning more and more towards "We'll do the work and imagination for you, we'll make EVERYTHING much much easier for you, and we'll fill our books with tons of inspiration and take away the tools...because you won't need the tools since we'll do the building for you, but you'll still have to apply it". Originally it was "Here are the tools, if you want these tools to work with then buy our book, if you don't then don't buy it, we have a different set coming next month." It's quite sad, I hope this is only a one year thing with them, like they're testing the waters with something. Wrong year to do it, though. Now me, and people like me, are feeling alienated with the new focus. I think an AD&D 3E would be better, so people such as myself and others, and even the veterans (cause I side mostly with them) can have their game and the newbs theirs. [/QUOTE]
