Good news! After noticing your erudite and convincingly well argued posts on ENWorld, WotC have sought your advice on possibly lowering the Player's Handbook's price tag. Of course, there's a catch. Doing so means part of the PHB will be removed, and saved for a future product. So you have to decide how much you want to strip it back by, in order to get a more affordable product. Or you can choose not to reduce it at all - in which case, the price stays as is.
I'm assuming, for this poll, that the PHB will contain the following. Twelve classes, 9 or 10 races, plenty of subclasses, all content required for levels 1-20, a generous amount of original color artwork, and enough rules to run a full game with only the Monster Manual required as a supplement. Magic items are assumed to be omitted.
So, what would you give up to get the PHB for less? Or would you give up anything at all? For the artwork options, 'Artwork Quantity' means you'd have less artwork altogether, 'Artwork Color' means you'd have mostly B&W illustrations, and 'Artwork Originality' means you'd accept mainly recycled art.
