However, I have something about each of your points.1. The only way any UA materials will become AL legal is if they make it into a published product. That's how we got Swashbuckler and Storm Sorcerer via the SCAG. With regards to cleaning up and rereleasing fan favorites as UA updates, I'd rather just see them move onto the list of things to be included in a future product. Although, it would be awesome to see WotC have a living document that told us where in the inclusion process the UA materials were at. Something as simple as a table denoting whether a class/race/etc was "In Playtest"/"Being Revised"/"Under Review"/"Awaiting Publication" would be both a nice way to show us more of work behind the curtain and serve as a way to build hype for upcoming releases. Since WotC likes to hide clues to future releases, this seems like an idea that would fit in with their pattern of behavior.2. I agree with you 100% here. Including the user base in the playtesting of questionable materials is what made the DnDNext playtest a brilliant move and led to the success of the 5e launch. If the user reaction to the UA release isn't unanimous in either direction, then more public playtesting is needed. Otherwise, clean it up for review with a final round of internal testing, or scrap it altogether if the users hated it.</blockquote>
