We've been playing six weeks and are half way to level 5 already; if wasn't for a missing DM over the last two weeks, we'd be pretty close to Level 6 (if not there already).  We'd get to Level 10 quicker than the hypothetical release date of the books.  And Breadth isn't an issue for me; between the core rulebooks, the few supplements already released, and Dragon, I'm already overwhelmed with options and character concepts that I'll never get to play.Also, I think this model would be economic suicide in the modern marketplace.  Not only would their be a huge lag for the most dedicated subset of the players (leading to the erosion of the player base), they're also the ones who would be more likely to play the higher tiers.  The point is, they're a subset, smaller than the gamer populace as a whole, which means WoTC would experience the law of diminshing economic returns as they published more expensive books that covered higher tiers, because smaller and smaller audiences would be serviced by them (and then there's the entire eroding player base thing).</blockquote>
