[QUOTE="Klintus Fang, post: 445472, member: 3580"] [b]Re: e-tools[/b] **double sigh** WoTC's handling of eTools is not at all typical of the software industry. Most companies that produce software support the products they produce at least until they become obsolete. So far, WoTC is not supporting their product, which is very atypical of the software industry. I know of no software product I have purchased that 1) obviously needed a patch (its impossible to print a Cleric correctly in eTools unless he has no domains), and which also 2) didn't have at least one patch released within two months after its release. Usually by this time, multiple patches are already released. on the subject of eTools: eTools is marginally useful unpatched. It could potentially be very useful if WoTC would fix it. I realize that if any patch is made that Fluid is going to do it, but nonetheless, WoTC payed for this thing and WoTC is the one selling it, so regradless of who will or might create a patch, the buck stops at WoTC's door step. I also realize that WoTC did officially state that "Fluid is working on a patch" but they haven't given us a time frame. [/QUOTE]
