[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8453032, member: 18"] It always starts that way. Then ten or twenty years later you see products that are exclusive to the luxury tier, especially if the wrong people get into managing things, and the entire product line may start to be viewed as "luxury" and priced accordingly. You can say that's a mistake, and I'd agree, but it's a mistake that has been made before, and companies like GW have been pretty successful in pushing up their prices by simply not selling anything particularly cheap. All the while certain people will loudly and vigorously defend every price increase, find excuses for every dubious product, shrug at stuff being released essentially only as a premium thing, and so on. Not saying you will, but some will. And even when prices have become solidly unreasonable, the same people will say "Wellll, it was always a luxury, no-one needs to game, you can just download the basic set PDF or buy an older edition!" or the like. Hopefully it doesn't happen, but the more WotC-made "luxury" stuff there is, the more concerned I am. And we're seeing more and more of it. [/QUOTE]
