[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4577313, member: 23977"] Please don't accuse me of doing something I never did. Never once did I call you an idiot or even mean to imply it. I'm pointing out a different way we view things, nothing more. And I'll point to it again. You seem to view it as, WoTC feels if they make a game collectible, people will want to collect it. Wheas I see people already wanted to collect things for their game. We want source books, we want extra options, we want new feats powers, spells. Wizards is simply supplying that demand. 3e added expansion suppliments from the very begining. How exactly did it move away from this? Again, it interests me. You feel WoTC was motivated by seeing others giving away their stuff for free... I feel they were motivated by seeing how popular the digital tools were, and wanting to offer digital tools. Yes, to make money, which is what businesses do. I've never once had a "complete" set of game books, even in my heyday of buying books. The DDI is still great for me, not so I can "catch em all" but because it makes adventure prep 10x easier for me. Again we come from a difefrent perspective on this. Sure you can sell little plastic minis... Offer extra stuff with those little plastic minis and their more attractive... What's wrong with that? People want minis. People want minis more when they have bonus stuff in them. I've collected various things over the years. Anytime I collected things, it was because it was something I liked. It was never a "burden." I wanted the things, so I colelcted them. This argument seems very strange to me. People also collect D&D books even when they're not listed as "core." have you seen the number of people happy they can "complete" their set chea[ply now that 3e stuff has gone on sale in most places??? Core and required are different things. It's just a similar statement I've heard people say regarding substances. Just made me smile to see D&D as an addictive substance. [/QUOTE]
