[QUOTE="everchanging02, post: 754691, member: 10834"] As a (table-top) gamer (primarily D&D) for the past year and a half, I can sympathize with many of the complaints, here. I spent my $60 total (when they were discounted) on the 3E core rule books as soon as I had the money (and, being a college student, that meant I had to give up a bit to make up for it). I have used these books and enjoyed them rather thuroughly through the time I have had them. They were worth the investment, IMO. However, now that 3.5E is coming out, I am somewhat displeased. Given, there are many fixes and much new content, but I still feel that in this update I am going to be drug into a money-trap and have three useless books lying on my bookshelf. Sure, it is the same $90 that anyone else would have to pay for the 3E core rulebooks (at this moment), but it seems more, since I have at least half the content in the $60 purchase I already made. To get on to a point, I would be THUROUGHLY pleased if WotC would give an offer to those that currently own the 3E rulebooks that would allow them to 'trade in' their old books for the new ones (with an added cost, of course), or (more desirable for those wanting to actually keep the 3E books) enable the 3E book-owners to give some sort of proof that they own the 3E books (that would not damage the content of the book) and allow them a discount on the 3.5E books. I don't think this is horribly unreasonable, as it is not a complete edition change (like 2E to 3E), but more an upgrade of 3E. This would also give those players with little spending income (i.e. others like me) a reasonable way to acquire the revised material of the game we so dearly love. It's just my opinion of it. I would like to hear ideas about this proposal, however. So, please, critique away (but, again, please be nice). [/QUOTE]
