Since you, myself, [USER=6801228]@Chaosmancer[/USER], and [USER=7034611]@mamba[/USER] all have different subjective experiences, on a 1-100 scale we are going to have different numbers that qualify as very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied, and very dissatisfied.  Compound that by thousands of people and you have a situation where it's impossible for WotC to correctly identify when a vote on a particular item has a 70% satisfaction rating and when an item has 60% satisfaction rating.Picking a percentage that they know(or at the very least should know) is wrong and assigning it to each of the 4 categories in order to come up with 70% and 60% seems pretty arbitrary to me. Reason says that they shouldn't be using that method since it's guaranteed to be wrong. If they wanted to know whether we voters as a whole were 70% satisfied or 60% satisfied, the should be having us weight things on a scale of 1-100.The chances that they can get within 1% of the correct number are less than 1%, but I'll leave it at 1% for simplicity's sake.  The chances of they being within 5% is greater than 5% since people are unlikely to be satisfied at 5% or dissatisfied at 78%, so they can guess closer at a +/- 5% error rate, but I don't know the exact percentage.  However, when they are using specific percentages like 70% and 60% to have an ability succeed or qualify for another incarnation of an ability, even a 5% error rate is way too large.The best that they can do is to tell us what percentage of people are satisfied vs. what percentage are dissatisfied, which only requires a binary are you satisfied or dissatisfied.  Not only that, but it completely ignores everyone who is dissatisfied, but likes the ability enough to want another iteration of the ability to vote on, so none of those people contribute to the 60% number required for WotC to give another iteration of an ability.Further, I linked the type of poll WotC is using and showed that they are making 3 or 4(I don't remember which and am too tired this early to go check) of the common mistakes companies make that result in outcomes that are wrong.Now, you are correct that I'm more likely be productive by telling WotC directly about their mistakes, but I enjoy debates here on this forum.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
