In my experience what is alpowed in a convention shapes the standard of an edition for people playing with strangers, and I sincerely hope it goes beyond just the basic game. In the past I have seen books beyond this standard being easily marginalized when hunting por people to play with,  to date my copy of 3.5 tome of magic hasn't seen any actual use, because it falls outside the standard. If the 60% of the phb not in basic won't see any organized play action, then that is money best spent elsewhere -in my case at least-.Also early in the playteat they mentioned thebasic/standard/advanced divide, while restricting content for published adventures to just the basic game actually increases the public that gets to consume them, organized play in the other hand gets wotc the more money the more it impulses people to buy the phb, without support for anything in the phb not in the basic game there is no incentive to buy into the edition for someone in my position. Advanced is obviously the field of home groups who want that complexity and can afford to tailor it to their needs, basic is for people who only consume published adventures and can't afford to tinker with it too much. Players without a stable group need a standard set of assumptions when dealing with official events and each other, what I read back then implied the standard game would be more extense than just the basic game, but I have heard nothing about it in a long time. Perhpas thi g have changed since then</blockquote>
