After playing around with some of them, my group has universally decided that the Essentials classes are not for us, so barring a customization feature... the offline character builder we all still have loaded on our PCs may become the way of the future.  It has the added bonus of no constant errata to screw around with.  So what about it WotC, any chance you want to keep a bunch of paying customers?

That the online character builder doesn't allow an effective means of implementing this makes it a utility for what might as well be an entirely different game. Since the use of the character builder, with updates to implement ongoing changes to the baseline of the game, was about 80% of the reason for me to subscribe to the insider, I've decided it's not worth my money to maintain the auto-renewal of subscription. There's other games out there that I can't customize that automate the tedium of gaming, making them better options for my money. I'd be happy to start renewing my subscription to the DnDI service but it seems that after waiting as long as I have for the online version to allow real customizations there's no real interest on DnDI's side in making such a quintisential feature a reality.
