The complaints about repeated material were already commonplace with the latter books. Did they milk 3.5 dry? No, but it was obviously getting thin, at least from the WotC standpoint. Pathfinder is breathing some new life in to it, good for them (and fans of the system). Perhaps "fresh eyes" are exactly what was needed. Either way, 3E had run its course from the WotC side and they (with their large amount of market research) decided it was time to move on. It worked out fairly well (timing-wise) with demos and such at Gen Con. Pathfinder saw a market niche, maintained most of the system (basically consolidating good "house rules" to add to/enhance it) and can cater to those who didn't change (for whatever reason they decided).</blockquote>
