[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 7803296, member: 16586"] [USER=7004880]@Randy_Robertson[/USER] Offering up the game to the fans sounds nice, but would be seriously detrimental to the continuity you seem to want to preserve. Instead of one standard that occasionally changes you would have 1000+ standards that are constantly in a state of flux. Everyone likes different things about the game. When you make a change to appeal to one group of fans you inadvertently will turn other fans off. Given the capability to turn out uniquely tuned versions of the game many fans would and the market would be all over the place. It would make those previous transitions look tame in comparison. Fifth Edition is not my favorite version of the game, but it is a pretty good game and it continues to sell extremely well despite being 5 years old. There is no incentive currently for Wizards to make any changes to the core system. If things continue as they have with the game selling well with minimal staff needs continuity of the game will be in a very good place. Disrupting that is contrary to your stated aims. Continuity is good business for Wizards right now. [/QUOTE]
