I am not saying that WotC shouldn't have, say, a section of Dragon called "3.5 Corner" or "Retro Arcana" but I do think it is a tad ridiculous for them to pour resources into an older version of the game, at least to the extent that some seem to want.I mean, it is time to accept that 4E is the current, supported version of the game. Paizo is supporting 3.5 via Pathfinder - why should WotC?This is a dirty tactic, Aberzanzorax, and one that I would have thought was beneath you. I am not "appealing to authority", but I am agreeing with Mearls and pointing out that his article agrees with my "hypothesis." You're basically being an instant of your own complaint by trying to negate what I'm saying by calling it an appeal to authority. In truth, I find it refreshing to know that he holds such a view. This is not to say that I agree with everything that comes from the home offices--I certainly don't--but that this was a blast of fresh air. Frankly, I am a bit disappointed by the responses in this thread. No wonder the community is so fractured, no wonder the edition wars rage on, and no wonder what I was calling casual-on-the-cusp-of-serious gamers get turned off.</blockquote>
