If the rule is optional and not in the PHB then unless one is aware of the new rule or bought the supplement then one can continue as if this new rule does not exist. In fact one could be completely unaware of it. Even if one is aware of the new rules but do not use then how has the new rules impacted ones game?These are all personal preferences, why should I abide by your choices? You can still play AD&D (or even Everquest), so can I but I choose not to.Again I am not sure what the point is here. I will make an observation. Us, as players and DMs can get off the bus anytime we like. If there are edition, rule supplements, even specific elements within books we otherwise choose to use. We set what we play and the extent of it. Mike Mearls, or Jeremy Crawford are not gong to force us to buy new supplements or implement new rules or even accept errata to existing rules.However, expecting a company like WoTC to stop producing rule supplements that add new elements and rules is like expecting the sun to stop rising, the tides to stops flowing. They are in the business of producing rules supplements among other things.  They sell, and as long as they sell they will continue to produce them. We can influence the process somewhat here, by anticipating some elements and how they may be best changes. By playtesting and responding to the surveys. New stuff will come and we can be thankful that in the current edition the pace is relatively slow.I have managed in 5e, for the first time ever to get an AP to completion with only one major overhaul (Xanathers, i do not count the others as major) and now there is another. Previously complete editions passed by in the same time frame.</blockquote>
