[QUOTE="Ourph, post: 4107638, member: 20239"] I concur with your prediction. Then again, predicting nerd rage in response to change is like predicting the sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning.... a pretty safe bet. Ummm... I used the word altruism specifically because it applies to someone giving up an advantage (like tax breaks) in order to benefit someone else (like people who buy 2nd hand gamebooks). I think it applies within the context of what I posted. Also, WW isn't destroying anything from [u]your[/u] book collection. WW wants to trade books with you. If you still want your 3.5 PHB, don't make the trade. What they do with their 3.5 PHB after you choose to make the trade is irrelevant to your personal book collection. The 3.5 PHB wouldn't be yours anymore even if WW decided to enshrine it in a D&D museum. WW destroying books they own is no worse than WotC destroying books they own; and as I said before, WotC has already (at the release of 3e and of 3.5) destroyed huge numbers of D&D books and will likely be destroying a lot more once 4e hits the shelves. Probably many times more than the 2500 WW is proposing. I think you're getting the idea that I'm calling WotC evil for pulping books. I'm not. Pulping books is a good business decision, which I respect. I just find it hypocritical that people are calling foul on WW for doing something that WotC does to its own books on a regular basis and on a much larger scale. [/QUOTE]
