[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5134180, member: 67338"] wont some of the essentials target both new and old customers? I mean the new rules compandium, the tiles set both of witch target just as many people who played in 4e game day 1 as those that start brand new. Add to that the starter set has new powers and builds so some (mostly no DDI subscribers) current players will want those. Depending on the set up many of those books can be good (mostlikely not great) sellers so to recap, the promotions ment to get people into your store is being improved... well that seams good to me, like they are helping you... then again I liked every game day in 4e (I played for every phb, and for the mm2 and dmg2) so I guess that almost doesn't suck is very subjective... so they give bonuses to places that give them time to promote there games... and I have never seen more then a handful of "I got X book early" posts, so I can't belive them breakign street date is all that common... so if I show up to less then half the games, but use all the books, and the ddi character builder, but another player makes every session, but only use phb1 who has more renown at the end of 10 weeks? maybe your open hostility to WotC as shown in this post comes across and limits your sales... Sounds to me like Wotc is doign what they promised 2-3 years ago and trying to grow the rp community as a whole.. Now if they were putting out PHB4 in sept, and MM4 in dec, then PHB5 in march, and MM 5 in May... then it would look like they were loading there big sellers to make money asap... then it might, but since they are working on long term plans (aka new players) isn't that the reverse of what you see?
