[QUOTE="nothing to see here, post: 1707207, member: 16432"] I prefer that kind of certainty too. Not just on the numbers of players for group, but on all the market assumptions Wizards makes...Unfortuneately we may never be privy to a company's internal market research...for all kinds of reasons, such information in the public domain puts you at a competitive disadvantage. At the end of the day the people who stand to lose the most from shoddy or unrepresentative research is WOTC themselves. With us, at worst we get subpar products that stay on the shelf while our money stays in our pockets. With them they lose sales and market share and have to increasingly rely on the dominant position of their brand (which continues to be industry-defining, though not necessarily perpetually so). Actually, you could make the argument that that's the direction they're headed in. Of course, that's an issue on which you could run a separate poll altogether... [/QUOTE]
