What I mentioned here are the books mearls was in charge of.Errata is not bad per se. It just shows that people cared about updating things which dont work as well as expected. 5e did not update the non functional ranger gor several years thats worse. 5e could have used a lot of errata, correcting errors/overlooks is not as bad as leaving them be.Also the "MM rewrote" was mostly a marketing tool. Monsters below level 11 wete not rrally changed and monsters above it not that much. (10-24% from level 11 to 30). This move was mostly made to correct the bad initial impression people had from 4e about "the combat dragging". And guess whrre this initial impression came from?Correct the initial really bad adventure by mearls was what gave a bad impression of 4e to many people. And no other 4e adventure was so bad it got removed from sale. There is a difgerence between "ok the adventurers are not hood" and "naughty word thid is so bad we need to remove it from sale and release online a fixed version for free."And about errata for his almost non functional assassin in 4e there was never an errata released after mearls took over. Then his "online only" class which should promote the DDI subscription left a bad first impression about online only material.His first essential book made a really bad first impression of essentials (of which he was the head honcho), which made essentials become a disaster.4e was a team effort of course and it has many great books, but the worst books are pretty much all by the same lead designer.</blockquote>
