[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8825251, member: 6801228"] They square with each other because of the Oberoni Fallacy. Yes, WoTC is unlikely to fix it until we go around and start looking at changing it and discussing why it needs to be changed. Silence means everything is working well after all. But, when asked "whose responsibility is it to change this material" it cannot be left at "You must fix the game that you purchased." There is a distinctive difference between the actions that should be taken, and the end result. The end result should be changes from WoTC, not changes at individual tables. That is why saying "just fix it yourself" isn't the end goal, in my mind, of the discussion. Sure, I can fix it, but that doesn't mean the problem is solved, that just means I'm no longer dealing with the original material that was a problem. One of these is a means to an end, the other is the end. As for you being part of the Kitbashers Union, sure, I don't think there is a problem with it. In fact, I homebrew quite a bit myself.
