[QUOTE="Krakenspire, post: 7658502, member: 6787754"] I find it interesting some of the responses here regarding the survey, particularly the ones complaining about comparisons and the survey not being specific enough. Specific surveys don't work in this context. At all. There's plenty of research on this. If you want specifics then you interview and ask subject matter experts or you read the ample space provided for feedback.. Surveys are for trends and generalities. The best way to get generalities is through your classic 5 option really good to really bad survey. Same thing goes for comparisons. Comparisons are extremely useful. Why you think something is far less important than what you think. For example, what if I thought a bard was more powerful than a fighter because my DM runs a social role playing campaign vice hack and slash. Now change the campaign to a classic dungeon crawl and maybe the fighter gets more love. Why I thought the bard was better is not important, and Wotc can't control for that Another survey on type of game people are playing can actually sort that part out and trends can emerge. Ie: what is more important to your game, roll playing, combat... [/QUOTE]
