I could kind of understand it.But instead... some people want us all to play the same game of theirs that they have made up in their head of what they think D&D should be.  "D&D 5E has a lot of problems and is really bad in many ways... the only sensible choice is for them to fix these X number of things that I think need to be fixed and should be fixed in this Y way... and then once they do so, the book should be published so that everyone can use my corrections too."We as gamers have all created millions of pieces of D&D material over the last 50 years-- some published in books, some in magazines, some on websites, some just kept in binders on our shelves.  And we can pick and choose whatever bits we want to use to create our game.  But like you say... that's the operative word-- create.  Use what you have, and create what you don't.  And if WotC doesn't publish it in a book for others to use... it should never be a skin off our nose.</blockquote>
