[QUOTE="Baz King, post: 4858121, member: 71259"] For me its all about utility. I can't play enough to keep up with my purchases. I think I'm a good customer of WotC, I buy everything in print, I have a full sub to DDI and I grab all the minis and tiles I can. Trouble is, I simply don't get to use them all. I run a weekly game, never miss one, and we get about 3 hours of proper game in. I'd like to play more but you know how modern life is. We've been playing since launch and our group is hitting 10th level now. That's a common experience I think? Now, the modules on my shelf go up to level 27 and deep in my heart I know that I'm 2 years from finishing the run. That's faintly depressing! I'll never get to play all the delves, or Scales of War, or the stuff in Dungeon or the 3pp stuff that looks so good. Worse, given how hard it is to actually die as a PC, my campaign is very unlikely to ever see the races and classes released since PHB I. Now, I shouldn't complain. Choice is good, and I need to be more rigourous in exercising that choice. Tellingly, I don't think I'll buy Divine Power. I haven't finished reading Martial Power yet! As much as I'd like to have it all, I know I can never use it all. So, I will buy less. And that pains me. Or I could not run campaigns, and do one shots and short runs. Not my style. Its a conundrum, both for me and I think for WotC too. (Oh, I'd have had exactly the same issue with 3.x too, so its not about the edition) [/QUOTE]
