One of the major problems is understaffing, many project members work on sevral, so it's more efficient sometimes to focus on getting one out the door earlier. TVWP is an example of this.
[rant]Well, then HLP should do a training program. Post 'if you volenteer, we will teach you' in the several different sections; MODing,FREDing,texturing,CODing whatever else you guys have out there. Then the people that volenteer to learn, and be comitted to it, will work on their spare time with a (one, or more if wanted) experianced person of that skill, willing to teach them. And over time you have a whole second shift of people who know the skill('s). See, HLP has a good portion who have great skill, but not enough effort is being made to train the people who dont know how and want to. I, for one, would like to learn FREDing and MODing myself; but cannot with my current computer system. Once i get my own, id learn in a heartbeat.

Not so, you could ask plenty of people that would be glad to help with modeling programs and to help teach you how to use them, me included. But, the fact is no one hardly ever pms us, why because people don't want to learn.
As with most games today, people don't want to learn something they have to
try to learn. They want something like most FPS that you can just start up and play. And that is why Flight Sims and such have fallen out of market.
Most people who try to learn to model, find out that it is not as easy as 1-2-3, and quit. And the ones that do ask for your help, disappear after you give it to them. So, this is their problem, not ours.
