[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7725681, member: 7006"] I'm not "defending" WotC... I'm merely saying what I suspect THEY would say if they were to address you directly. Do I know this for a fact? Of course not. But we're also not talking outrageous leaps of logic here either. The original statement you said that I commented on was [I]"Your right I dont have to purchase the new book and I probaably wont, but is losing my mony good for wizards?"[/I] To which I responded that yes, losing your money probably WAS good for them. Because what they have done currently for 5E has been amazingly successful and made them money. And as you have not desired to purchase ANY of it outside of the core three books, makes it easy to come to the conclusion that what you WOULD buy for 5E is quite possibly not in step with what most other players would. And as a result, if they catered to YOUR desires alone and produced product that YOU would find good... there's a chance that most other people wouldn't and they'd make less money. Apparently what you want and what most of the player base want are quite different. Or at least, the timetable for thinking it should arrive is different. Because yes, you *will* be getting psionics like you want... it's just going to be four mechanic books in (following the new elemental spell and races free player pamphlet, the Sword Coast gazetteer with new subclasses and backgrounds, the second monster book with new races, and the new player option book with new subclasses, spells, and feats.) And as far as your desire for Planescape... that's a setting that I *think* was like #2 or #3 on most wanted when WotC and/or ENWorld ran polls on them, so even then it probably wouldn't be first on the docket. It is what it is. I have made a reasoned observation based upon available evidence. Could I be wrong? Absolutely. But the one thing I'm not is "blind". :) [/QUOTE]
