WotC, 3PP and quality level

[Ranger REG]

I think a safe assumption is that WOTC stuff is better then a good deal of the 3PP stuff.

Meh. Can't say that is a safe assumption.

I came to the conclusion that the best 3PP has to offer is about as good as the best Wizards has. But the worst Wizards has is way better then the worst the 3PP has.

That's pretty much my position in a nutshell.

After years and years of heavy study and intense research on this (I bought and read a lot of books and played with much of it) I came to the conclusion that the best 3PP has to offer is about as good as the best Wizards has. But the worst Wizards has is way better then the worst the 3PP has.

I agree largely with that assessment especially in regards to the worst 3pp products. Some were horrible. I have to challenge the idea that the best WoTC was equal to the best 3pp at least in one instance. The Green Ronin Book of the Righteous is by far a superior deities book than anything that WoTC has ever created. IMO WoTC's god books were glorified Monster Manuals.
