[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 3727619, member: 4720"] I read it. It's still unfair. First, the designers have no marketing experience and no input on the actual marketing outside these kind of Gen-con experiences and such. What we're hearing from them is what they want to say. And it's ENTIRELY likely that a small number of customizable classes was what they wanted with 3rd edition and is AGAIN what they want to do with 4th. The market, however, (and very likely the people at Wizards who pay the bills) dictated that they deviate from that design principle. And the market is ALREADY dictating that again. And following the cash will AGAIN dictate that, as long as we as a market demand all of these character details be dictated from birth, as it were. You're complaining that the well-meaning designers want to give us an simple, elegant, flexible game, and will be prevented from doing so by.... well.... us. [/QUOTE]
