[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7743596, member: 6779196"] Sure, but [I]not[/I] overhauling the system would undoubtedly be a bad decision in the long term, because again, “people who don’t want to play 4e” is not a sustainable market, and “people who want to play 3.x forever” is a market that is very difficult to satisfy while also attracting new customers, and getting more difficult the older 3.x gets.
