[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9396051, member: 93670"] I ran AL twice a week at a FLGS for years in [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/is-wotcs-5e-d-d-easy-trust-me-this-isnt-what-you-think-maybe.703211/page-20#post-9295551']a high population density area with heavy tourism & seasonal residents[/URL]... that it=group you are referring to is a vanishingly small segment of players. A great many of those newbies [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/is-wotcs-5e-d-d-easy-trust-me-this-isnt-what-you-think-maybe.703211/post-9295717']could not be newer strains of newbies[/URL]. It is basic human nature to have a desire to be good at things you do and wotc has so far set the bar so low in 5e that it takes real effort to be as unoptimized as the game seems so concerned about. The size of that subgroup is almost certainly a case of failing to filter salt like boredom fueled christmas tree PCs built in ddb just complete enough for them to quickly get through chargen hoops needed to see some higher level ability & abandoned unfinished PCs/NPCs leading to a massive oversampling on Wotc's DB crunching.
