[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 9093626, member: 2525"] Confidence in the testing approach appears to be "things I believe to be true about the game and fan preference if it turns out to be true in the results?" Their methodology is both proven in the field and the most extensive in the field, in both depth and time. We're not the only playtests, just the public one. You don't have to have absolute faith, but looking to justify "it's a bad method" only when it coincidentally doesn't match up with your preferences is not a persuasive argument against it. And yes, that's what you're coming across as with comments like, " I liked it best before they listened to anyone" and "‘having too many cooks spoils the dish’, never felt this more true" and "the longer this playtest goes, the less interested in it I am." All those comments appear to be saying, "I am really irritated with the democratic method they're using because people are disagreeing with my preferences. They should just make radical changes I like and not keep asking people who risk saying they don't like what I liked." [/QUOTE]
