[QUOTE="sfgiants, post: 3748891, member: 868"] I think the points made about who will be in charge and around in a few years are good ones. Back in the day we had no idea that there would be the changes there were. As a result listening to anyone at Wizards in regards to a longer term issue is pointless. I also wonder about all the addittional PHB, DMG etc they plan on doing on a yearly basis. How long can they go about doing this? 2 years? 3 years? What happens then? Some say that they could keep doing them until PHB 10. I doubt it. They were scratching the bottom of the barrel of ideas for 3.5 by now. What will make 4.0 any different? Finally, is there any functional difference between a version 4.5 in 3-5 years and a version 5.0 in 3 years? I don't think so. The result is the same-buy more books :) Finally, about the issue of if we actually got confirmation 4.0 wasn't coming soon. I can't find a quote (haven't tried to be honest) but I think we can agree that the tone and implied info from Wizards was that 4.0 wasn't coming soon. That's just as bad. It means they knew it was coming and subtly tried to steer us away from it. Good business I guess. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth however :( [/QUOTE]
