But more importantly, has anyone at WOTC said or even implied anything like that being the motivation, or are you just speculating about their motives because you don't like some choices WOTC made that they claimed were based on the playtest process?[Edit - just decided to look back on the "Do they read the surveys" controversy and there are direct statements from FIVE different WOTC employees past and present who declare in no uncertain terms they read all surveys, there are three full time people doing it and several other higher ups who do it as part of their job, they do make changes based on survey responses, and they run the entire design schedule and plan based on when survey feedback comes in and what that feedback looks like. All five different people, to varying degrees, make it super clear the intent of the playtest and surveys is to gather feedback they can use to alter their path, and they do not mention even impliedly or in the briefest sense a motive to avoid criticism behind them. So that's the context you're facing - your allegation is, in essence, saying all these people are lying, even the ones who were fired and no longer representing the companies interests who said that's how that system operates.]</blockquote>
