[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5427349, member: 6667746"] Didn't know DDM even existed in recent years...wish I had know... The feedback WotC uses or talks about isn't always what is seen by most people. They could be using number of downloads for the feedback. Now before you say I am jumping to conclusions about my point I actually saw a national news report on healthy eating in schools and made this claim: :confused: Yeah if you have a ban on them then the number you will see is going to be lower, because it is being hidden and lack ability to purchase them means you cant get them to dirnk... My point being they could be comparing the individual article downloads to the compiled article downloads on the whole, rather than one-to-one. That is what I am thinking, based on past WotC fact colelcting and data assessment, someone is thinking rather than thinking that the same people downloaded all versions. 5000+500=5500 downloads Say there were 10 articles that month (5 each 'zine), then add the compiled for 11 "things" to download...500 people could have downloaded each thing. But to someone the fact that that 5000 looks bigger for single article downloads, means more people must like single articles, and nobody likes the compilations. It is a possibility is all I am saying, that WotC has been known to misread its data and feedback. The problem and question I would have to it is, why force people to download more, since individual files will be larger in total size than the compiled issue, and errata'd articles would have to be downloaded again; in the presence of a country fighting and losing to metered internet usage as well the amount of time it takes to download each article individually if some preferred to wait and download the end result fully errata'd? Do you use them and which did you prefer, and it really doesn't matter if your preferred method is taken away in light of the cost to you to download them individually, some multiple times, as opposed to downloading them fixed and all at once. Cost being in time to start each download and wait for them to finish, rahter than start a larger download and you can do other things while waiting depending on your downstream allowances. [/QUOTE]
