That doesn't mean the individuals are more skilled or more knowledgeable individually. In fact I've seen quite a lot of highly questionable things in charop. It is just that you have LOTS of people on the job. Game design also requires a quite different mentality than the kind of low-level analysis of individual rules elements and combinations which is the forte of charop. It IS a great resource, but you need the 10,000 foot view level of the design group as well. There's also a certain 'unity of vision' that you don't get when you crowdsource. In any case, they are getting some good feedback. I suspect a lot of it will lead to somewhat different approaches than some of the suggestions they're getting, but that again is why we have a dev group. They look at things through a different lens. If all making a good game required was superior analysis all of the best RPGs would be open projects...</blockquote>
