[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6656918, member: 15700"] Man what? Morality? Companies do things to increase profit. TSR/WoTC isn't any different. What do you think the original Unearthed Arcana was all about (and the classes therin)? What's odd is someone pointing out a very common tactic and you (and others) taking it as some sort of personal slight against you or your favorite edition. He made a claim that is true of every edition, including 4e. Sorry if you think that's automatically edition warring and immature. There is a site (I won't name) out there where 4e is protected against any sort of criticism and every other edition is fair game. Maybe you're used that sort of standard. But IME, this site isn't like that. I think you're significantly overrating the number of people who want a warlord class. Are there some? Of course. But you need to understand that fans of the 4e warlord don't make up the majority of all the D&D players. Don't be silly. You don't even have to believe me. If the warlord had that many fans, it would have been part of the core classes. There's no way the D&D team sat there and said, "Here's a class that the majority of all D&D players want, so let's just ignore it and piss them off." I'm pretty sure the survey results are pretty clear that the warlord has some die hard fans, but certainly not the majority of D&D players. [/QUOTE]
