So, are you suggesting they increase the cost of each book?   The online CB was released several months ago, and is getting better all the time. Do you honestly believe they aren't trying to improve the current programs into an effective product? Or do you truly believe they can magically pull a single perfect program out of thin air? Creating what you are looking for is precisely what they are trying to do. And, once again, many of the complaints about the CB have already been addressed. Sure, the core issues - like being an online program - aren't changing, but that doesn't have much to do with how effective the program itself actually is.  What new threads have you been reading that talk about current problems with the CB?  On the one hand, you point to threads about the CB's problems in order to argue against those who actually use the CB. But you appear to have missed the many threads demonstrating how impressed folks are with the board games. They have been pointed out as one of WotC's big successes of the last year.  Even many who are not fans of 4E have said they find them worthwhile purchases. And it is true we can't tell for sure how good the sales are, but the fact that WotC is lining up several more such products seems promising.   Well, not us. But also... not you.  And it doesn't really require exact numbers to know that what you are asking for would largely involve a lot more investment of resources. Months of extra testing for each book to make sure the content is perfect? Developing instantaneously a perfect digital program for the game, and reworking their entire system process for content distribution? All of that takes time and money. And while your proposed system might offer some nice new features for the customers, it doesn't seem likely to do the same for WotC itself.  I'm not saying there aren't good ideas scattered amongst your suggestions. But making this sort of thing happen is just not that simple. It isn't just a matter of wanting it to be so, and it happening. And without acknowledging that, most folks are, yes, going to dismiss your points right off the bat.</blockquote>
