[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 4832167, member: 9789"] Piratecat: Sorry to make you use the red text. Mallus: I apologize for being a jerk earlier when I was frustrated. Nagol: Wow - thank you. It is incredibly refreshing to see someone paraphrase my messy jumble into something so usefully coherent. :) Yes, those are all defining problems in 4.0. Thinking about it more, I think part of the issue - which I think someone already touched on - is that the production schedule of WotC is set up to pretty much guarantee a very high number of errors. Cranking out one book per month is a whole lot of work, and with so much time focused on creative production how could you possibly have enough time for reflection? I think this is reflected in the lack of refinement that we've seen, and why it takes so long for them to carve out fixes to certain problems (example: skill challenges). Ultimately I do wonder, for those of you who have suggested it, if finding a different product would either a) solve this problem or b) delay this problem. Maybe a secondary question is: if WotC isn't big enough to handle this issue, who is - or is it rather that WotC is too big and that's what's causing the issue? [/QUOTE]
