I don't have any idea what WotC has planned other than what they announce. I don't work there, and I don't have specific insider information. Regardless, if I did I couldn't share it anyway.Being involved in a different hobby business I wade through the same types of online complaints/criticisms, as well as emails on a daily basis. And without exception the posters have absolutely no idea about what's actually going on with our company, most of which I'm not at liberty to post. The business end of things can get very complicated for a great many reasons, and these types of companies are often run by participants and fans of the hobby itself. It frustrates me to see the tone of many posts and the way they target the very people responsible for providing the products you want. I'm not saying your post is one of them, just pointing out that there are usually a whole lot more than just one or two possible reasons why a company might not provide more information, or choose a particular release schedule, or what have you.As far as whether Wizards 'gets it right' or not. In my view, they still exist as a company, and they are still releasing material that people are excited about and purchasing. I'm not sure how much more 'right' you get in business. Do they please everybody 100%? Of course not.But if I'm working at that company, doing what I love and getting paid for it, and I get to come to work tomorrow because what we did yesterday is making the company money and they want me to continue to do more of what I like to do. Woo hoo for me!Ilbranteloth</blockquote>
