[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9178074, member: 7006"] Because there's only 12* of you. But because you all congregate in the same threads it makes it seem like "everyone" in those threads agrees the game needs less magic and more "gritty martial fighting". But you are only 12* people out of 400,000... most of whom don't care about the issue in the least. But you aren't alone. Every single thread here on thess boards where someone says "D&D NEEDS X!" has the requisite dozen players show up and agree with them that this has to happen because there's this supposedly massive monolith of players who also think this is true. When in actuality 99% of the playerbase has probably never even thought of or worried about it, let alone formed an opinion on it. And even those that have formed an opinion... a large number of them just [I]fixed their own game[/I] to take it into account, rather than sitting on their hands for WotC to do it for them. Look... if there actually WAS this huge throng of the playerbase who wanted more martial characters, or high-level adventures, or arcane half-casters, or Warlords, or Psions, or "simple spellcasters", or "0-level characters", or any other repetitive exclamations of supposed "truth" that gets trotted out here on the boards as NEEDING to be added by WotC or else they are stupid, lazy designers... WotC would know it and they [I]might[/I] eventually do something about it. But in reality WotC won't because it actually ISN'T true. There's only 12* of you who actually want it. And which is why even DMs Guild designers don't often bother making it for you, because you won't buy it and just end up complaining about their work too. * exaggeration for humorous effect [/QUOTE]
