I'd assume it will.For the sake of argument, let's assume the DM and the players want something less generic or a different genre from what's provided in the example Greyhawk setting. Based on some posts in a few of the recent threads on the new DMG and Greyhawk some people do want to create their own setting/world build. I think it's also a safe bet that some new DMs/players may want to convert their favorite IP into a D&D setting as well. So, I think that saying, "Ok, now that you've got your initial adventure out of the way, let's spend the next several hours of your free time building stuff that your players will likely not care about in the slightest.", is somewhat dismissive and assumes that there is no value added by including some world building advice in the DMG. I recall reading the series of "Dungeoncraft" articles when they came out and found a lot of the advice very useful, even for myself who did quite a bit of adventure writing and fleshing out of existing campaign settings before those articles were written.</blockquote>
