Wasn't there supposed to be a big errata push?

[QUOTE="Adso, post: 3679858, member: 6706"] Because sometimes the first solution you see is not the best solution. That’s one of the reasons why it’s good to have a conversation about these things. Sometimes the solution doesn't mesh well organized play initiatives; sometimes a solution doesn't sit well with all the stakeholders. Sometimes solutions change what we've said in the past, or what the folks in customer service have been telling people for months. Sometimes the solutions can fundamentally change the rules or commentary on the rules (like, say, the FAQ). And then we have to ask the question, “should they?” After all, taking a look at download numbers, and observing play patterns we don’t believe a substantial number of players are using the errata we’ve already provided. How much is too much rules change for errata? Sometimes what the fans show us isn't always the right answer or the best answer. The fans can even disagree on what the right answer *should* be. One of the things I do is go through errata discussions on various boards and compile that information. And I can tell you there is a lot of good information in those posts, there is also a lot of not-so-good information. Gathering this information and going through the bits of information and deciding what are errata worthy is time consuming. Sometimes it takes time for folks to notice the problem (both the fans and the folks at WotC). Take a look at all the conversations on this forum and others about rules issues, the question about what exactly are errata, and so on. Closely examining the various discussions, I think you can see why it is not nearly as simple as it seems on first blush. I wish it were as simple as that, though. I wouldn’t be spending my Saturday morning fretting about errata. I would much rather be working on my campaign, or taking a stroll on Lake Washington. I think I’ll go do those things. Stephen out! :lol: [/QUOTE]
