And assuming it is accurate why do they bother with a public playtest at all other than as theater? Seriously,  if the public playtest doesn't have enough information to actually judge whether a thing works, it is essentially useless for design -- which means the public playtest isn't about design,  it's about "feelings" which literally no one responsible for a revised edition of D&D should give a single solitary naughty word about. It's disingenuous. Even worse, inviting the current fanbase to give their feedback with no intention of it mattering is predatory.I think maybe they don't care what their fans think and will do whatever.  Which is fine and is the way design should be done. But it's pretty naughty word to invite your fans in just to market to them.</blockquote>
