[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 5079090, member: 48965"] I never said previous boxed starter sets were failures... no one but the people at WotC know this. What I do know is that you don't keep remaking something that works... you keepit as an evergreen introductory product... Imean I don't see WotC remaking (with virtually the same information) the three corebooks for a single edition... yet they have remade the 3.5 starter set twice and now the 4e starter set twice. If they worked so well why not just keep a single one in print? That's great for you... but you does not equal most, a majority or even some D&D players. As far as levels go, it's not a question of pure levels... but re-playability, which is usually related to the number of levels. First, who said the company was run by idiots? However I have to believe even the decision makers at WotC aren't infallible, otherwise D&D would be the greatest selling product of all time. As far as repeating the pattern... no they aren't. The only thing they seem unable to tweak and change is the replayability of their starter sets... otherwise they've experimented with diffewrent components in each of the box sets. Or how about you not classify peoplestating their opinion about a product as overreacting on the interwebs... no one's claiming the starter set kills babies or puppies... in fact it seems to be you that is blowing other peoples opinions, that don't coincide with yours, up with dismissive hyperbole. As far as the levels, again... it's re-playability that people are looking at, of which levels of play are an indicator. [/QUOTE]
