[QUOTE="Cruentus, post: 9060664, member: 7034645"] That seems to be a terrible way to do surveys and compare data. What if you didn’t do the surveys of the PHB for whatever reason? Missed them? Too long? Whatever? Then this new UA survey comes out, and you’re comparing apples to your lime survey from two years ago. The same people may or may not have answered. I’m not a statistician (and neither is anyone at WOTC, clearly), but that has to be a terrible design. Sometimes when I’m feeling particularly cynical, I feel that either they give us terrible ‘options’ solely to have them shot down and say “See! Didn’t reach 70%!“, and then go back to what they wanted anyway. Or, they add whatever, survey it, and then just decide to put in whatever they want, citing the 70% ‘data’ they collected. Kind of like how I felt the 2014 PHB looked nothing like the latter playtests… but that’s just when I’m cynical. [/QUOTE]
