They've been taking and responding to surveys, they've also stated the the first month of organized play can influence the future direction of the adventures.The complaints we're seeing online because they 'cancelled' the Players Guide when WotC states they never announced it is exactly the sort of thing that might be a factor. I don't necessarily like the current release schedule, but I do think that there is more to be revealed, and that the release schedule is light now because they plan on filling the scheduling holes with other product in future years, we just haven't gotten there yet.So this year may be ramping up the 2 annual large adventures, along with more online content and AL adventures, and next year we'll start to see some other type of release, such as campaign specific material, or conversions of classic material between the large adventures. And I don't think the issue is bloat, the issue is a healthy release schedule so the sales of one product aren't reduced because of the next product coming too quickly behind it. While we might think we know the facts, and some of us undoubtedly have more information than others, the only people that have the raw data and numbers is WotC. Customer suggestions, complaints, etc. are all important factors when making the decisions, but data often tells a very different story than what people think is going on. And there's no way we're going to get access to that data. Although I would guess that a careful study of the fluctuations in the release schedules of the 3rd and 4th editions along with Magic the Gathering would yield some very interesting information...Ilbranteloth</blockquote>
