[QUOTE="Eldragon, post: 997587, member: 3962"] Sure WotC is a company, and needs to make profits. Profits are generated by selling books. WotC decides it needs more profits, so it comes up with more books to sell. whoop-de-doo. Quite the revelation. There are 2 ways that WotC can proceed with making books: A) High quality books B) Low quality books. Low quality books are cheap to make. Dont have to pay as many writers, artists, or game testers. By printing low quality books, WotC can stand to make more money than high quality books. I would rather have a high quality product, but thats sometimes asking too much. At some point over the next 2 weeks, most people here will buy 3.5, and decide for themselves if 3.5e falls under column A, or column B. Personally, I have not seen enough new art, content, or fixes to prompt me to buy the new books. Perhaps if I liked every change in 3.5 I would overlook the lack of new content or artwork. But I don't even like some of the changes. How major or minor these changes are is subject to personal opinion. But the fact is, when I went from 2e to 3e, I was happy with 99.9% of the changes. Now, going from 3.0 to 3.5, I am only happy with *most* of them. How many people are going to have a few house rules that revert to 3.0? I have my house rules already drawn up. I call it Version 3.25.13453e Why the extra 5 digits? because I am probably the 13,453th person to splinter away from the core 3.5e rules and using a few 3.0 core rules. [/QUOTE]
