[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9128190, member: 23751"] But it is 80% and 81% and 82% and 83% and... That's the problem with their method. They are trying to achieve an 80% rating without having an inkling of what people actually rate the abilities. "Very satisfied" doesn't tell them anything about where in the real range a given answer is. If they are using them all at 100%, they are grossly overweighting the "very satisfied" answer. All of the other answers are similarly weighted by those of us voting, but unknown to WotC because they are asking the wrong question. The question they should be asking is, "On a scale of 1 to 100, how much do you like X ability?" That would allow them to average the answers to accurately see how much those who are voting really like an ability. I agree with that. I'm sure they do arbitrarily assign a percentage that is wrong. That's the problem. It's arbitrary and wrong. To be right they need to ask the better question I suggest above. That's not true. They do have a way to determine if I am 71% and you are 67%. They just have to ask the right question instead of 4 wrong questions that are guaranteed to give them a wrong percentage score. ;) [/QUOTE]
