[QUOTE="ourchair, post: 5271048, member: 85362"] It's been said many ways in many threads but they should really just replace the MM1 monsters. Just have Monster Vault versions of the classic monsters. I don't want to open the Monster Builder and see 800 different kinds of Kobold just cause they can't back down and admit they need to get rid of old and broken monsters. The problem though is that if they did that, then there'll be a significant number of people who will feel bilked by their purchase of MM1. They can't *sell* corrected material without annoying early purchasers. This wouldn't be a problem if the 4e experience was an online thing and monster content was entirely a DDI database that could be updated constantly (not an experience I approve of, but that's not the point) which is obviously what they were trying to do at first. So the result is a stance where they can say that the new monsters in the Vault or in MM3 are better designed, but they can't strongly suggest that they are what all monsters should've been in the first place in a manner that suggests that previous monsters are defective.
