Exactly. It seems to me that WotC is courting kids who grew up on WoW, trying to get them to do tabletop gaming. That leaves old-school role-players out in the cold.

IMO there's a clear problem there — many 3.0 and 3.5 source materials sell for more on the used market than they did new. I just bought Oriental Adventures (still awaiting delivery, though), and a decent-condition copy was over twenty bucks on the Amazon market — a bookshop-new copy would've been about $75. Ridiculous!
