[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9791449, member: 63508"] It's half and half really. Or thirds. One third of the community is impatient and won't let WOTC iterate the system and accept that some stuff might be off and it is allow for a router and people can adopt a router as time goes on and buy new books that replace older "worse" stuff. The other third does not want to lose access to any of the content they had before so they refuse to run out for any major arrada or iteration of the game that is not simply cosmetic in nature. And the last third don't pay attention enough to really care the direction and mostly just follow the content of those of the other 2/3 and think positively or negatively towards the process and schedule of DnD based on what their social media algorithm shows them. With this situation Wizards is never in a good financial position to make a choice unless the game or edition completely dies on its own allowing them to restart. 5e is too good to fall that hard right now For example the control spell issue that this thread is about could be fixed with a couple fundamental tweaks and keeping much of the same base system in place but the responsible opportunity to do so it's not coming anytime soon for WOTC nor what they ever want that position to appear anytime soon.
