[QUOTE="Roman, post: 2991364, member: 1845"] I am one of those people who would not mind at all seeing a 4th edition. What I would have a problem with, however, is making the game even more miniatures centric and very likely also with selling the game in smaller chunks. I do not buy or use miniatures, so increasing the focus on miniatures would increase my frustration with the game. My attitude to these changes will, however, depend on their execution. 'Smaller chunks of information' is a bit vague - I would certainly NOT be willing to buy cards for each spell, feat, etc.. Smaller rulebooks also leave me cold, but they are not as bad as cards. Although I would not be thrilled about it, I would even be willing to accept some increase in reliance on miniatures if I thought other changes to the game were positive, or perhaps even just to stay 'current' with the game - I have done so the former in the past with 3.0E and a mixture of the former and the latter with 3.5E. If miniatures were made completely indispensible to the game or if they were sold along with the rules or if the game relied on cards for feats, spells, etc, though, that would result in my exit out of D&D. There are other ways, I can entertain myself, and other ways to spend my money (and the amount of money I have spent on D&D is not insignificant).
