That's why we cannot play by the rules, too many changes in too short time....This. When your party plays through an AP and by the time they're finished, every single character is now technically 'illegal', you know there's a problem.
If that's true, then those players should have know they were going to have issues. The things that get errata seem to be easy to predict.
Also Paizo does errata, often. It's one of the reasons I love the products they make. They don't just print a book and forget it like 3.5 did. You could discuss anything online about 3.5 because they issued no errata, they answered no questions (until the run up to 4e), and they seemingly didn't care that the rules were unusable. Paizo cares.
I had to rebuild for: Maneuver Master, Feather Step Slippers, Cap of the Freethinker, and Jingasa. But I knew each were broken as they were.

It's very easy to say that something was obviously going to happen after it's already happened.

Quite honestly, I no longer enjoy errata. It has led me to no longer caring what the Pathfinder rules say, as they change and contradict themselves far too often. More and more, I see errata and FAQs as an excuse for Paizo to release beta product and 'fix' it in later printings. That's not fair to Paizo, so I try not to bring it up often. But it IS how I feel.
It's amazing, really...
Paizo consistently publishes great books but also consistently publishes horrible FAQ/errata .
The way Paizo handles FAQ/errata (both their design and release policy) is why I no longer buy any Paizo product that can FAQ/errata-ed. Now I stick to dice sets and Pathfinder Tales novels... And encourage others to do the same.

If you get your wish, you won't have the dice sets or tales novels to read anymore either.
I don't think you will, because I don't think the number of people who hate on the errata are all that many people. I'm sure a high percentage of your friends and associates feel the same. I'm just saying that there are not that many people as a percentage of buyers that don't like the errata.
It's very easy to say that something was obviously going to happen after it's already happened.So you can honestly tell me you didn't know some options were too good when you read them? Bracers of Falcon Aim? Feather Step Slippers?
What I'm saying is that saying people are stupid for not seeing things that you believe are obvious is kind of a jerk move.
