[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8732369, member: 7023840"] Well, let's use one of your examples, since I agree with it [I]as a matter of personal preference[/I]. "Psionics not appearing until 6 years in..." I don't think psionics has really appeared at all. But this is a perfect example of why are assertions of "what people want" just aren't supported by what is happening. I WANT real psionics. WoTC repeatedly tested psionics. And ... "the people" couldn't get behind it. There's a lot of reasons for that - but it's just not broadly popular. The vast majority of players don't go around saying, "I WANNA GISH CLASS." I asked you for evidence- you know, real evidence. Evidence would consist of ... like, numbers or people exiting the game because it doesn't support their desires? But instead, you reiterate personal anecdotes of stuff [I]you want to see[/I]. Which is fine- I know you like "superheroism," and I also know that you realize (having talked to other people here) that some people don't. It's rinse, repeat. D&D will not be everything to everyone- but it's trying to be enough for most people. That's the sweet spot it occupies. [/QUOTE]
