I want faster character generation and quicker play at the table. That doesn't mean that I want options expunged from the Player's Handbook, though. When I answered those same surveys, the complexity and play issues I was objecting to were mostly mathematical complexity - how changing ability scores affects the rest of the character sheet; how careful I needed to be in encounter design. I must not have been alone in that opinion as D&D Next has addressed the math, at least mostly to my satisfaction.While it is true that people are stating their preferences for how they would like to see certain rules implemented -- and I certainly have stated mine -- I don't get the impression that those opposed to at-wills are mandating that their specific option be included (aside from a select few). I do get the impression that they want some option included in the Player's Handbook.This is a board with a larger proportion of DMs, so it is unsurprising that posters are taking a DM-centric position. That said, I don't think it is a DM issue or a player issue - it is a table issue, and it will be discussed at the table regardless of where the options are presented. The cost issue has been raised amongst my own group. Lets agree that this is an issue for three of the guys I play with.</blockquote>
