But why is it my "responsiblity" to grow the hobby? I have a group that I play with, I'm not looking for new players, so why should I start going around looking for more people to play with? Or to get to play? Now, if one is looking for other people to player then sure you can/should be...

Yeah, been doing that for CoT, easy to adjust story rewards by multiplying by 5/4 but the encounters are more difficult....

Don't forget that they do get some XP for exploring the wilderness as well (not alot, but over time probably adds up).

Do you mind me asking what their fame and popularity was? (will be running this soon so it's good to know).

Do you have the source for the two feats? I only know of the one...

There's a feat for Aldori swordlords in the Inner Sea World Guide that I think is pretty pre-req heavy so that would give you some idea of where to go. (Aldori Dueling Mastery) There's an fighter Archtype for them in the Inner Sea Primer Aldori Swordlord and a PrC for them in Paths of Prestige...

I think there's a new archtype in ARG that swaps out SM for SNA...

Yes, but if people didn't realize they were having the problems, are they going to vocalize those things on forums, in letters, etc? Very true, but my being able to look at someones reasoning why the fighter is crap or that the wizard can replace the rogue and agree "Yes, I can see that" is...

I think one problem with that may have been to alot of gamers the problems with 3E were purely theoretical (or unknown if you didn't visit gaming boards). I know for my game when people complain about X, Y, Z in 3E/PF I think to myself "really? I've never run into that". I'm not discounting...

(Note this all comes from someone who isn't participating in the playtest) There's probably a middle ground that could be reached however. They could have put out new class features/themes/whatever every N days/weeks. Because if people stop play testing they stop thinking up useful...

Once you divide it by the number of players, 3250 for 4 (or 2166 for 6) it's not all that much XP when a 12th level character needs 95000XP to get from 12th to 13th.

My party is just in the process of getting through this section (level 2 clear, working their way through level 1). And while a lot of the fights are rather... grindy... for enough of the fights my players do something cool to make it entertaining/memorable for them.

Someone did a break down of all the fame points on the paizo boards: Fame Point Summary And what they measure at the end isn't Fame points, it's actually "popularity points" which are based off of fame but different... I haven't actually gotten there yet, still in book 5, but I think you can...

Any passive things should be (Weapon Focus, Iron Will, etc), if there not, it's in error. Some active things may be, but will generally be called out in the tactics text in the stat block (stuff like Power Attack). Really situational things you have to remember to apply yourself (stuff like...

You might think about reading all the book specific threads on the paizo boards, they do list corrections to some of the errors that you've run across (missing DCs etc).

I haven't used them, but there are chase rules for pathfinder: Chases - PRD

I think the problem that the designers face is that game design is about coming up with solutions to problems. Problem: How does character 1 hit character 2 with a sword? Solution: Games have come up with a bunch of different ways to solve this. What people are attached to are the solutions...

But can't that "someday" be 65 billion years in the future?

But someone is devoting time to writing these polls, coming up with questions, coming up with answers, etc. Why not use that time to write up polls that could generate meaningful data?

I suspect people are right when they say that the polls are basically meaningless... But that raises the question of why do them then? If they're there as a marketing tool of some sort, why not try to make the meaningful. THen at least the data you got out of them could be somewhat useful.
