[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7552925, member: 6919838"] But therein lies the rub... people may not like an aspect of the rules and bring it up due to their own particular preferences and campaign impacts which are just different from what others or many might consider "room for improvement" at all. There is not an objective better or worse here and many of these threads show just that. There is also not often an objective cause or definition if problem here - just differences in preferences or expectations. The game wont be objectively "improved" if rapiers are officially changed to d6s. It's just different. So, among a small vocal subset of a non-representative group, thread frequency is just not a reliable measure of an objective problem that needs to be looked at. If you look here, you are likely gonna find more than enough threads about the fighter class needing improvement or being bad and one might even see comments about how rarely anyone plays it... but actual surveys of the broader bases of players show it to be one of the more popular choices. Forum goers are not necessarily more knowledgable or reasonable - they just post or have time to post and if they post a lot its likely they have strong feelings. I know I am not at all the demographic WotC should pursue even though - of course - i know what I am talking about. [/QUOTE]
