I'll take a look at 5th when it comes out, not going to outright say no tell I at least see the rules...but honestly, even if the rules are jawdroppingly amazing, and they straighten out their business practices, nothing short of a public appology for 4th edition is going to get me to think of wizards as anything but a crap corporation on the same level as walmart/amazon. Regardless of any of it, it's going to be rather hard for them to beat out Pathfinder/Paizo, least in my mind. The rules and setting are very well done (not perfect mind you, but solid), but the biggest hurdle is the customer service.
Oh, I'll probably look at it, but WotC will have to do some miraculous stuff to ever get a penny of my money again. Especially after they decided to say 'screw what people want' and stop producing PDFs.
As far as not being able to find 4th ed D&D books on PDF, have none of you heard of Bittorrent?

DND 3.5E is to "competitive algebra"asDND 4E is to "pretty pictures for twelve year-old recluses."P.S. - Damn 12 year-olds, ruining America.
And if the publishers are wondering which customers to listen to, they might want to pay special attention to boys aged 13-17.

No way did you say that, nearly every time I talk of the scourge of RPGs I say marketing towards fucking twelve year olds ruined the game I grew up on and every person that thought version four was a good idea for the players was a liar and I could rant and rant but I wish they would make a public apology for version 4
