[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 1892609, member: 16077"] There's problem #1 with your argument - the mere fact that they were written to a different standard makes them baseless in your argument - they *weren't* written to the same standard. That different products were "made up" is a problem of continuity in the fluff, not in the mechanics of the product. Errors in the mechanics and errors in editing are what I am talking about in the 3.x products. The fact is that WOTC can take something from a 3.0 product, place it in a 3.5 book as "updated," not even spend the time to research the fact that it was already updated in an errata (essentially, updating Rev - instead of updating Rev A), release it, and then release the "errata" a few months down the road. Granted, it is only a game - what if the books were law or medical texts, or designed to teach police bomb squads. What would WOTC say when people were injured or killed as a result of their poor research and editing? Sorry, here's the errata in a web article?!?! The fact that I (and better people than me) can find errors in the mechanics of the products speaks less about WOTC's adherence to quality standards and more to our ability to seem to be able to do what WOTC seems to be incapable of doing - paying attention to detail.
