What type of product would you most like to see from Wizards of the Coast?

The most popular choice is mass combat?

I am surprised.

This is D&D right? A character based game and mass combat is thousands of troops fighting each other. And there are hundreds of published rules for mass combat. I guess people want to play something different, it just makes me think that D&D space combat will be asked for next!

the point is that none of the puclished rules sytems for mass combat allow you to use you DnD character... Warhammer, to pick an example, has very different magic, interpretations of the races etc. If you want your campaign to feature a war which involves you PCs then you can't acurately model it using any current rules system for war gaming.

In other words its not that people don't want to play DnD, it's that they DO want to play DnD.

As Henry pointed out, there are several d20 systems out now, with more to come. I havn't heard amazing things about any of the existing systems, but I am looking forward to Cry Havoc.

More than anything else, what is needed for D&D is a comprehensive set of rules for running games in low-magic settings.

Off the top of my head, surprisingly little -- I voted for another campaign setting and a line of race splatbooks.

The CS is a given -- they've already committed to doing the setting search winner's world, and given how good the settings designed by the runners up seemed to be, I'm suitably intrigued.

The race splatbooks I'm less sure about, but would certainly like to see (even though other companies are handling this area -- options are good ).

In retrospect, I should have voted for MM3 as well. More monster books are also a good thing.

Agreed. The Midnight setting sounds cool as a low/no-magic world but I would like some stock rules rather than a full campaign setting. Actually, I would like to have both but I would like the stock rules. Redone CR's, item lists and alternate ways of handling things that still allow characters in the their mid-teen level battle dragons with a small amount of magic on-hand...

From what I've read there's no guarentee the winner's setting will be published at this point, it still depends on what WotC decides later on. I hope it gets published though.

I would like to see books on running dominions and castles, warfare, different cultures, and more options. Some people want low powered games, others want high powered games. Some guidelines would be helpful.

Interesting. You're probably much more up on this than I am -- thanks for the info.

Those pre-painted miniatures that they're coming out with, but instead of randomized boxes of 8, have them come singly in plastic bags or blister packs like GW stuff.
