However rather than the more directed changes that we've seen in things like Dragonborn and Ardlings, where the changes were informed by the written survey responses, we would be more likely to see a more scattergun approach and more detailed feedback requested. Instead of focusing more on the "Beast" aspect of the Ardlings, or making the Dragonborn breath weapon more similar to that of the Fizban's one, we would likely see a couple of different versions of each, and WotC using the quantitative feedback to decide which they would go forward with.Another difference we would probably see is that in instances where people gave low scores because they didn't like how something was implemented, WotC would be unable to distinguish between that, and people unhappy at the fact it was implemented at all. So they might completely remove aspects that people might want, but would actually just like to see implemented differently.It is a little hard to tell how this might inform the future shape of 1D&D, since I don't know what the actual aggregate numbers of the most recent survey were. So unsure of what stuff they would keep and enhance, and what they would change or throw. Jeremy Crawford had an interview with Todd Kenrick in which he talked about some of the numbers in the earlier surveys. If you take the attitude that Jeremy was truthful about how the numerical scores in those surveys were used, and was lying through his teeth for everything else, that might provide some insight.</blockquote>
