We can only know what WOTC is trying to assert even if it contradicts their actions, and given their behavior during the OGL debacle, I have little reason to afford them any benefit of the doubt that this was just an oopsie, because they're doing the same fundamental things they did there. Fool me once and all that, but this isn't the first time they tried asserting after the fact that something most people understood one way was actually always some other way, nor is it the first time they've tried to act as though it just wasn't important enough to clarify until their hand was forced by backlash. You may find it egregious to be over-willing to condemn, but that goes both ways with being over-willing to forgive. Either way its spun, WOTC isn't inspiring confidence and has not recovered from their missteps at all, which gets further compounded by what we've gotten in these playtests that have thus far, much of which has been wildly out of synch with the player base. I don't think WOTC Designers were ready to start this kind of an update, new edition or something else, but they didn't have a choice. Thats a leadership problem and it exacerbates every issue subordinate to them.</blockquote>
