[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 5505423, member: 65637"] Like I said, I don't [B]hate[/B] Essentials. Essentials can be rather nifty and, for the right type of player, it's right up their alley! What I hate is the idea is that Essentials is [I]all we're going to be getting[/I]. Psionics was a one shot experiment. Essentials should be the same. And we should see [B]more[/B] variants and changes and experiments made on the Powers system. Essentials as a one shot deal would be fantastic. Hey, here's the simple and easy to understand martial classes the niche of the fanbase wanted! They're happy now! And the ones that aren't happy [I]will never be![/I] My biggest dislike with the Powers system was that everything was tied to it. Making everything tied to Essentials isn't the answer to this. My biggest [I]worry[/I] is that WotC is going to start treading down the path of quadratic wizards linear fighters again. That's the last thing I want, and that's one of the things that well and truly [B]would[/B] divorce WotC from my money. As for the "grognard dollar," it's lost. [I]It is lost.[/I] They don't hate WotC because wizards are no longer gods, though that was certainly one of the [I]original[/I] reasons. They hate WotC because [I]they hate WotC[/I]. They think WotC fired them as a customer, and pooped on their head, and destroyed everything they love, and those three things are things I have [I]seen[/I] put at WotC on places like the Paizo forums. That dollar is never coming back, no matter how many changes to the game you make. [/QUOTE]
