[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8590262, member: 7006"] Okay... then what are you calling the "average" customer? Someone who has just bought the three main books? If that's the case, then it doesn't matter what WotC produces because that average customer isn't going to buy it. Is it someone who buys only the "player-facing" books (PHB, Xanathar's, Tasha's)? Then those "average" players obviously are probably looking for any and all player-facing material available, and thus will buy whatever these new books are that have these new variations of the rules. However you slice it... I do not believe there is this very large group of players out there who have a very specific slice of wants from D&D but who have remained completely silent on the topic as you have proposed. But even if for the sake or argument they ARE out there... if they are remaining silent and not letting their wants and needs known... then sorry, too bad for them. Those people will just have to make due with the books they currently have and enjoy and play the game as they want it. After all... that's true for ALL of us. There's not a single one of us who needs to buy or play any extra set of rules that we don't want. So regardless of what WotC releases in the future... we have everything we need to play with right now. And if there are any extra odd and estoeric rules systems that we might want but aren't going to get from WotC as they instead release these other ideas (like feat trees or Backgrounds with a feat baked in)... then we need to just go searching for any of the thousands of 3rd party designers out there who are working their butts off to produce new and original material for us and get over the fact that it isn't the designers of D&D who are releasing it.
