[QUOTE="Reef, post: 9072943, member: 4533"] That’s certainly a valid opinion, but it doesn’t remove the benefit of replying to the survey constructively. Assuming, of course, there are at least some things they like. Consider: 1) they respond constructively, praising the parts they like, tearing down the ones they don’t. Chances are, the good parts stay in, and WOTC stops messing with those parts and moves on to try to fix something else. Which might involve more changes they like. 2) they respond negatively to everything due to the ‘toxic taint’ of what they don’t like. If that tips the results to the negative, the parts they liked get scrapped, possibly replaced with worse ideas. Also, WOTC spends time reworking those ideas instead of trying to fix others. The first option at least has the possibility of inching the game in the right direction. Also, if they take the second option, and use exaggerated words like ‘toxic’, comparing it to dying from food poisoning and the like, there’s no reason for them to consider their opinion at all. As it’s obvious that there’s nothing they’d be willing to do to make this person happy. Short of massive structural changes, which aren’t happening in this level of revision. You do you, but to my mind, if you aren’t going to rate the individual changes honestly and constructively, you are wasting everyone’s time (theirs, ours, and your own). [/QUOTE]
