My major complaint about the new rules coming out is that they feel
unnecessary. Well, unnecessary to the player, anyway. A new edition
should be a significant revision to the game, otherwise it feels very
much like an attempt to just sell the same books to players twice.

More, a major revision should have _purpose_ to it other than just to
exist. That purpose should be to revamp the rules to be correct
mistakes or problems, or to significantly change the tone and texture
of the game. I've not seen enough significant complaints about 5th Ed
rules that would require the former, and everything I've seen about
6th Ed (or whatever WOTC wants to call it) indicates it isn't doing
the latter.

Maybe instead of churning out new rules every five years, WOTC could
concentrate on creating adventure modules and settings.
