[QUOTE="Limper, post: 669344, member: 4083"] This is what I hate about it... rather than print a single 30 dollar book with the errata and changes in it... which I'd likely purchase without batting an eye... they have chosen to make me repurchase ALL the core books again, including what they haven't changed at all. I hate the lowlife marketing tactic being taken... I hate that since the gamerrs in my community will pick them up, if I'm going to play with them I'll have to pick up the books... I feel like I'm being railroaded into paying 100 dollars for 80% material I already have... this is why I hate 3.5e. I think WotC is being money grubbing jerks and it reeks of what made me quit playing MtG years ago... change for changes sake... change JUST to milk more money out of the customer. And before anyone gives me that SRD b.s. you've got to be kidding... the SRD is of NO practical use now and I doubt it will get any better with the new revision. ONline RTF documentation is of NO use at the Gaming table unless you have DSL and a cmoputer in the gaming area... which costs even MORE money for their changes. I dont hate 3.5e I hate WotC... if I knew enough gamers in my area who felt as I did I start up a new group... ignore 3.5 and WotC alltogether and give my money to another d20 company... one whos putting out useful, interesting new stuff and NOT trying to railroad me into repurchasing my shelf of gaming material again... do any of you really think that if it sells they wont do it again in another year or so? And if you don't think they will has anyone ever called you Polly-Anna? [/QUOTE]
