[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 1835817, member: 22103"] It doesn't require hiring a new employee. If you want to get to 100%, yes, it probably does. But WotC can still greatly reduce the amount of errors in-house. Most of the errors are not difficult to find. It requires essentially chopping up the book and giving sections out to different people. Give one person chapter 1, another person chapter 2, etc. I'm pretty sure 50% of the errors could be found this way and it doesn't take long. Where I work, we deal in 1000+ page technical manuals. While one person may be responsible for putting in the changes, the books gets divided amongst the group (there isn't one person who is the "editor") and they proofread their section. It's fairly efficient. Actually, I think it is. Like I said, I'm firm in my belief that proofreading would require such a small percentage of the development cycle that and they just simply choose not to do it. I'm not even getting into the discussion on mechanics and balance either (which I have issues with as well - big shock :D ). [/QUOTE]
