[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 1055711, member: 1013"] Because there was nothing that stood out in 3e that I couldn't fix in a minute to fit my tastes. Get rid of True Ressurrection, add in instant death criticals, ban the sorcerer, ban dwarves from being arcane spellcasters, and change halflings from tiny humans into Hobbits. None of those things were changed in 3.5e so why do I need those books? For the New DR? Oh that's game changing! Mega pumped up fiends? That sucks for me. Now when the new Green Roning daemon book comes out I'm going to leave it on the shelf since it will be full of the 3.5 "fiends on steriods" so it won't mesh very well with the 3.0 versions I use. Actually most of the 3.0 books that have fiends are screwed since they were so pumped up in 3.5. Now if you don't mind Bel, lord of the first layer of Hell to be no more powerful than a stock pitfiend that's fine, for me it would make no sence. So then my stuff in BOVD is impacted, I have to rework it or just sigh and put the book on the shelf for good. Oh wait the pokepaladins...well actaully that's nearly enough to make me not upgrade right there. ;) New weapon size catagories? That's a game breaker that needed fixing. Changing around a lot of spells, some in very subtle ways that invalidates my Green Ronin spell books? Not a selling point for me. Upgrading means too much work for me and I can see no tangible benefits to it. But then again me and my players aren't the rules lawyers with the phrase, "this is BROKEN, this isn't balanced...", coming out of thier mouths every six seconds. If you don't see any improvement, and your future purchases will need to be reworked to fit your rules, of course you are going to be resistant to WOTC putting out a major revision, and some are going to bitch about it.
