OGC revitalized D&D and the hobby as a whole has benefited immensely.  That revitalization was due in large part to the third-party publishers putting out supporting material that worked with the OGC rules used in the de facto setting.  If a new setting uses rules that are not OGC, that makes it harder for 3rd party publishers to put out material that will work with it and the established, most widely used published setting, and that makes them more likely to support only 'stock' D&D.  This doesn't benefit publishers who might sell more product, it doesn't benefit consumers who use the Eberron setting, and it doesn't benefit WotC, who would like to sell tons and tons of the campaign book and supplemental stuff.  I'm sure they'd love to sell a 'Complete Warforged' down the line at $29.95 a pop.Don't assume that those of us capable of looking down the road and trying to nurture a hobby we've supported for 25 years are freeloaders.</blockquote>
