Strong agreement with Leucrotta.

D&D is now the breath of fresh air and much needed escape from the MMO style games where more is more with the mindless neverending equipment grind. In those games that IS the game and it makes sense, but not in a story driven RPG.

Turning D&D into that would be a crime. It's like going to a good restaurant for a long dinner but somehow finding yourself in McDonalds.
