[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8704729, member: 58172"] Regarding the original post, I am unworried. WotC has experience with this kind of situation. 4e did ok, but perhaps not as well as it could. So, via surveys and research, they reconnected to the customer base. Notably, WotC moved forward, creating 5e. They never went backward by creating new products for 3e. WotC is working on a 50th anniversary edition. I am excited about it. Some people speculate it will be a full-on 6e edition change. Maybe most expect some kind of 5.5e. Personally, I am skeptical it would even qualify as "5.5" update. There will be some updates in format, the ability score process will decouple from the race selection process, and there will be a cleanup of some of the lore. These are all well within "5.0" parameters. Everything else is speculation. No matter what changes come − even no matter what surprises come − WotC is doing due diligence to ensure the customer base is able to keep pace. [/QUOTE]
