Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nevvur" data-source="post: 7336628" data-attributes="member: 6783882">Point taken, but in my defense, I'm suggesting that A might lead to B, not that A will lead to B. I'm not trying to invalidate others' gaming preferences. I just want to express concern about future editions possibly going a direction I strongly dislike. Of course, if magic item pricing were to become the new normal for a hypothetical 6e (i.e. the bottom of the slippery slope), it's my choice to continue playing 5e or hack 6e to suit my preferences.By that same token, people complaining about the lack of official prices can make some choices of their own, and pretty much all of those choices are going to be more productive than complaining that WotC owes them something. That's been the basis for most of my participation in this thread. I don't fault people for wanting a thing, but I do challenge those calling WotC lazy for not catering to their playstyle.I think you're probably right about the impact of a 5e price guide on existing tables. It certainly wouldn't affect mine, but then I have a strong grasp on game design and the confidence to stand by my decisions. I'm less confident in the ability of new players and DMs to see an optional price guide as anything other than the default. But again, that's me being paternalistic. Even so, it's the source of my aforementioned concerns, with the additional proviso that those new players will be a significant voice in future edition play tests.</blockquote>
