[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9065507, member: 93670"] It's also notable and shouldn't be ignored that prior to the many many pages of adpopulum defense yesterday this thread was talking for quite a while about how partly designing for both long rest and short rest without actually doing a good job of supporting either causes both to conflict with the needs of the other. That of course came off from how short nova rest classes are a nightmare because they mess up the long rest based attrition design for the gm thanks to bad resting design... Wotc surveys don't poll in a manner you should expect to cap at 100% on anything contentious. They ask two different questions that are usually across two entirely different packets. If 63 percent say 5 of 5 on a green cover while 58 percent say the same red and 41 percent don't particularly care strongly about either and another 36 percent strongly want yellow or blue. That doesn't really support any of those groups to make the cover rainbow striped even of another poll would show 47 percent of respondents are mildly in favor of a rainbow pattern. Wotc's terrible surveys and application of A B testing in some areas ensure that the surveys are a useless metric for anything other than making it difficult engage in good design or fix without being clubbed by ad populum stonewalling and smokescreens.
