I suspect it's the players telling WotC "Don't bother."WotC probably has the metrics.  They probably know how the E1-3 modules did compared to H1-3 and P1-3.  They probably know how many times the epic level modules in Dungeon were downloaded compared to others.  They probably know how the Tomb of Horrors book did (which included some low-level epic.)  They probably know how many article proposals they receive for Dungeon and Dragon that involve Epic Tier play.  They probably have a good idea the number of email and letter requests they get asking for Epic material compared to Heroic and Paragon.As much as some people would snarkily say otherwise... I imagine WotC probably has a pretty good idea what people want from them.  And what they've produced up to this point could be an indication of that.  If they aren't producing more Epic stuff... it's because the stuff they HAVE produced hasn't been wanted by enough people to generate the volume needed to make more.And sure... there will ALWAYS be a thread here on ENWorld where someone will post "I want more Epic Tier stuff" and there being six other posters right behind saying "Me too!"... but I would not take these seven voices to be any sort of an actual indication, or have any more weight than whatever metrics WotC already has taken from all their previous products.If people wanted Epic Tier material, Wizards would produce Epic Tier material.  To believe otherwise is to believe the people at Wizards are complete idiots who have no idea where their money comes from and everything they've accomplished with the D&D brand has been entirely just dumb luck.  And I know *I* would in no way insult them like that, because I know that is just plain not true.</blockquote>
