Message: <blockquote data-quote="Haffrung Helleyes" data-source="post: 4754435" data-attributes="member: 1068">These would be my requestsFirstly, I would like to thank WoTC for allowing 3rd party retailers to provide another chance for people to download previously purchased PDFs.  I was very angry when I lost the ability to do so and this new opportunity is a good step on the part of WoTC towards regaining my business.   I own virtually every WoTC hardcover purchased for third edition.  I have a lot of disposable income, I influence the purchases of many other people in my local gaming groups, and I was a very good customer for Wizards of the Coast once.  I would like to be so again, but for that to happen some things need to change.These are some things WoTC could do that I think would be good for Hasbro and the gaming community.I would like for WoTC to bring back PDFs for out-of-print WoTC products.  I grew up with a lot of these products and they have a great deal of sentimental value to me.  While I could easily find these on the internet if I chose to, I would like the opportunity to pay Hasbro for my use of them, as I have done in the past.  I don't understand why watermarked PDFs are now out of favor -- it seems to me that you were able to find the uploaders and sue them.  This seems like a positive effect of selling PDFs, not a negative one.  Please don't force me to choose between violating copyrights and being unable to conveniently read products I grew up with as a child.On the larger subject of 4E, I understand why 4E D&D has changed the way it has, but many of those changes don't meet my needs as a gamer.  I don't really want to start playing D&D in such a radically different fashion than I have done for the last 25 years.  I would like for Wizards to produce a companion volume for 4E that details ways to run a game using 4E in a more traditional, 'old school' manner, and rules changes that make doing so easier.Lastly, I would like for Wizards of the Coast to work on rebuilding its relationship with the OGL community.  My sincere belief is that moving away from open gaming was a mistake on the part of Hasbro.  I would like for Hasbro to find ways to make 4E more open to participation by 3rd party companies, so that I have a wider availability of product to purchase.</blockquote>
