Message: <blockquote data-quote="gweinel" data-source="post: 5894117" data-attributes="member: 2165">Do the polls give a correct measurment of what the dnd players want? And if not, how can wizard embrace the people who don't answer these polls?These questions comes to my mind more and more the last weeks. I think that the polls that wizard posts give a distinct measurement of a large part of the people who play dnd but this part is not representative. The current edition of dnd is 4e and so its more natural to have more people who like that edition to attend the forums and blogs (and vote to the polls). If this is true then what is the credit of the polls? What about the ppl that play 3e or older editions? My gaming group plays 3e-4e but noone has ever voted or participated in the forums. Also, people who play olders editions is more likely to be older than those who play 4e and is more possible to have less time to attend the forums AND play their favorite game due to real life commitments (family, pressure in work, etc). What about these people and what about their voice? If my above assumptions are true then how wizard will take into account my friends voice for the 5e? Also how creditibility would get when someone gives as evidence these polls? When Mearls said "No one voice can rise above the others, unless it is the voice of D&D fans as a whole" some days ago, how  can listen the worries of all the fans?  I post this because i fear that the "silent" (and not always by their choice) players of dnd will not got heard in the following iteration of the game.</blockquote>
