Considering the enormous strength of 2.3.2a, 30 points would be a big achievement (Just like the improvement of HIARCS 12 is a big achievement.)
People will want the strongest engine available, even if it's just 20 elo stronger than the second one (and people will always complain no matter what.)
I did not say you had to sign up. If you casually glance at their forum, the rybka 3 question is "red hot".
You seem to assume that my time is free.
You are new to chess then or have missed these people who cry out for a new version only to complain that the newer version they have bought is not much stronger than the old version they had.

Anyone with half a brain can see that I have been here since the forum moved, that alone is more than two years. You on the other hand is the one who has been here for only few days. I do not expect version 3 to be more than 50 points stronger and it does not bother me.
