Isn't this more cowardice on wotc part? If you (wotc) believe in it, make a splat about it like you did for 3.0, 3.5 and 4th. 3.5 had two of them, 4th at least one I am sure.I have added the psionics problem to the quoted post.
People in general want a psionics class. This is demonstrable and backed up by WotC's own statements and efforts.
WotC wants to give people a psionics class. They tried at least three times. They don't repeatedly try to do something if they don't actually want it to happen.
But the factionalism within the psionics fan community is so fierce, a generally acceptable solution is impossible. Nothing can clear the 70% threshold because nothing will ever be perfect for 70% of fans.
Rationality fails at the group level.
