Hasn't Chris Perkins been there much longer than Mike Mearls, though?
I can't speak for Neverfate, but the some of the epic destinies were mechanically terrible. The fluff was great; the crunch not so much. That's weird for me to complain about since I'm normally a very story oriented player, but I hate when I want to choose an option in D&D because it sounds cool only to find that my character seems to have trouble keeping up with others at the table.
I've only had a few passes at the book, but that's been my initial impression.
If your problem is with the Epic Destinies, Rob had pretty much nothing to do with them. I wrote the Keeper of the Everflow, Marshal of Letherna and Twilight Tribune. I'd be happy to have your feedback.I can't speak for Neverfate, but the some of the epic destinies were mechanically terrible. The fluff was great; the crunch not so much.
