I found that the biggest problems in rigging are management issues: listening and weighing input, absorbing unexpected changes gracefully, and finding solutions that fit into a much larger pipeline over which you have limited control. Rarely are you even in a position to dictate the software, it's simply another variable to consider. Often there are overarching political issues that you must absorb and translate into production. Like all things, it always comes back to people. Really, moving vertices is the easiest part of the job.
