Sometimes people say that the very high levels don’t matter very much because people don’t play them often- I usually don’t. Also, while reading forums, I might skip reading posts about high-level characters, abilities, modules, etc., because I doubt that those situations will occur in my game group.
That lead me to wonder, what levels do people really play the most? D&D beyond seems to indicate that people play the lowest levels the most, but that could just be that people like making 1st level characters. I, personally, hate the first level. Online adventures are the most common in the 3rd to 8th level range, if I remember correctly.
So, let me put it to you: What level was your character at the end of your last game session? Looking at this may help us to consider what is important when we discuss D&D. It could be helpful to answer like this: "This multi-class build will not be very good between levels 3 and 6- how important is that?"

Clarifications:
- If you are a DM, use the average level of the group.
- If you play in more than one group, just use the one you attend the most. (I thought the poll was created to allow a second response, but it seems like only one response is possible)
