And that, combined with some of the things you like scoring well in the survey, but not making it into the game, has led to this discussion. But you don't know what specific things scored well that won't make it into the 2024 books. You are just assuming it will be things you liked, because you think he said most things reached 70%. The article didn't actually say that, it said "many of the bigger changes" reached the threshold. That isn't most of them. That isn't even most of the changes at all. They were essentially saying "more of the big changes than expected were well received" which doesn't support your assertion at all.And I assume you are ignoring the part of the article where he says this "As for some of the other proposed changes that tested well, Crawford noted that there was still a chance that they might appear in a future book as optional rules. "Some of the other things that scored well but then had a mixed reception in terms of people's commentary on it, all of those things still have a chance to appear as optional rules in a future book."" Because that means that even those big changes, that reached 70%, that won't be in the PHB will still be put into the game, just later. And the reason for that is because of the community discourse.And, you are assuming there was a problem with sloppy survey testing and poor survey results, because they looked beyond the survey, read comments, and followed the community discourse over the rules changes. And that is bad because it shows the survey didn't capture every single facet of people's opinions on the subject? ...So you either misunderstood or misrepresented the article, to present a problem that doesn't exist, ignored the actual context, and used all of that to justify this assertion that the survey is sloppy and bad based off the expectation that maybe things you like won't make it in, because they took in more information than just the survey. ...And somehow this will yet again be turned into me being a scummy person who is too stupid to realize that you are actually correct.</blockquote>
