[QUOTE="Cedric, post: 3065737, member: 2044"] I agree with you completely on this point. I really just thought that some people were taking an overly simplistic approach to the level of difficulty involved in writing, playtesting, editing and publishing a primary rulebook or source supplement on the scale we are talking about. However, from having worked in quality for over a decade (I'm a Quality/Process Engineer by trade), I can guarantee they have nothing so robust as an ISO style quality system...and furthermore I would be the first person to say that they would benefit from one in terms of quality. However, their bottom line would likely not benefit, as I feel product quality (in the terms we're discussing) has a relatively minor impact on their current and future sales. In other words...they do an adequate job in an industry where adequate is the status quo. I'd love to see their quality improve, I just balk at seeing a bunch of people pointing out how easy it would be. Hehe, as to picking on me, no worries. I have been posting a lot lately because I cleared out several work projects recently in preparation for a large series of projects...and the company put those on hold. So I have free time to post and have been posting a lot and always encourage dissenting opinions, especially ones like your own which are always well thought out and presented. [/QUOTE]
