But some are mentioning that 4th ed may come out in 2010 which would make it ten years no? Are does the 3.5 conversion mean WoTC needs to add a few more years?
Whisperfoot said:I can't believe that of all people, I'm defending the line of reasoning you are condemning. The problem is not that WotC will be releasing a new game. The problem is that so many people have so much invested with 3rd edition that they may not be willing to abandon it because WotC decides to hit the reset button. I think it was an easier sell going from 1E to 2E because the game didn't change so much that the old materials became completely obsolete. 2E to 3E was an easy transition because there was over a decade invested in 2E and everyone was well aware what all of the flaws were in the system. 3E to 4E may be a tougher sell because 3.5 has been out for well under a decade and it works just fine. It's a little top heavy, but combat can still move at a good clip if both the DM and the players are well acquainted with the rules.
Anyway, the question isn't whether or not there should be an organized boycot, but whether people will be willing to upgrade when the time comes.
