[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5715804, member: 22779"] Y'know, funnily enough, the idea of "usage over time" is obviously very much being put into play at WOTC. They've commented on how the online tools are a HUGE market research plus for them. They know what classes are being played, what monsters are being used, what feats are being taken, for a very large number of gamers. Right now, the sub numbers are over 60 000. That's a massive database to mine right there. So, if we see some things get dropped or added later on down the line, you can bet it has a lot to do with what's going on inside the DDI. I doubt it was accidental that the PHB 2 classes got a fair bit of loving in the latest book out of WOTC. That is one thing that the online DDI does that gaming has never really had before - the ability to really pin down how the game is being played for a very large selection of people. [/QUOTE]
