[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9099786, member: 6704184"] Clearly they do, in fact, concern themselves with evidence and reasonable arguments. The thing people are getting mad about is evidence to that point, not against it. It would be irrational and shortsighted to only care about the math of survey responses, to not weigh qualitive feedback at least as much as quantitive. Foolish, even. For sure. Why playtest wording patches that keep spells working as originally intended? I doubt anyone here was worried about whether you like it or not, or whether I like it, or anyone else here. Only if you define “mid” as “not what shardstone likes”. 🤷♂️ I mean if you think Crawford is just directly, intentionally, lying in the video I posted, that’s a take, I guess. Not one I’m interested in interacting with further, though. LOL the low level changes that had swathes of people raging about how they made the new material wholly incompatible with existing material and it wasn’t even 5.5 but a full on 6e? The stuff that was going to require a whole compatibility pass at the end of the process to meet thier goal of not making a new game? The “bleachers” have a context. What the idiom means when designing a new game is not what it means when revising a game that you plan on being compatible with itself going forward and remain [I]the same game. [/I] Going for a totally new, “innovative”, “daring”, “other buzzwords”, design while repeatedly stating that it is a revision and the game is not getting a new edition, wouldn’t be swinging for the fences, it’d just be lying. 🤷♂️ Well, you already know as well as I do the remedy for feeling this way. Not much worth saying on it. The best response this is shocked and incredulous emojis in a series, ending with sad and resigned emojis, but around here folks take emojis the worst way possible as a rule, so…eh. I am incredulous, shocked, a bit sad, but ultimately resigned and just tired, reading the above. Bizarro world indeed. [/QUOTE]
