[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8989231, member: 7006"] A person should absolutely comment on what they would like to see. But they also should be honest with themselves in acknowledging that posting what they want HERE is so far down the line of being useful that at some point their comments are no longer about actually seeing their desires met in the game... instead it's all about personal entertainment. A person posts and then responds, and responds, and responds, and responds, day after after day after day... and the reality is at that point they are doing it just to have something to do. To keep themselves busy. It's not affecting change... it's just so people have to hear their voice. Because if by some chance a schlub at WotC has been assigned to go "check on the masses" because there's a question about a particular playtest data point that Jeremy et. al. needed further confirmation on that was not made clear enough in the survey responses... that schlub ain't gonna spend their day reading through an entire EN World forum post that's up to around 40 pages with the same three people bitching back and forth to each other reiterating the same exact points they made back on page 3. At that point, the schlub will say "Yeah, okay, I got it..." and those three people are just doing it to hear themselves talk. Which is fine, by the way! If that entertains them to just run around in circles for three weeks, more power to them. But at least they should be honest with themselves about what they're doing. PLUS they should not be surprised or get bent out of shape when other posters show up to comment and point that fact out. [/QUOTE]
