I was one of several involved in the <a href="http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=915020" target="_blank">debate over the TLA change on the WotC board</a>, and it seemed more like it was three or four very loud individuals who just would not let the thread die than a huge outcry among the messageboard.Did I say anything about "interesting"? It also helps explain where the heck the 4e stuff is coming from. If there's a class in the 4e PHB that's all about throwing noodles, then that's gotta go somewhere, and "Oh well there have always been people who threw noodles in Eberron; you just never noticed them" is really lame.Keith said that the 4e ECS has to do everything the 3.5 ECS did: introduce the setting to new people.And quite frankly, I'm not going to buy the 4e ECS if all I'm getting is cut and pasted material from the 3.5 ECS with some numbers adjusted. I am certain that the races and the Artificer class will be supplied to me via other books (like the MM) or Digital Initiative before the 4e ECS comes out. Those things weren't in the PHB. They were very late incarnations and splatbook creations. So there was no assumption that enough people would be using it that they needed to make a change to supply it; it just required shoe-horning into a little corner over here. You apparently haven't heard all the complaining about the Player's Guide to Eberron, its sidebars, and trying to cram Every Single Thing WotC has Published into the setting.</blockquote>
