They were not too thrilled when initially looking at 5e, but a few of them are now "play nothing but 5e" people. IME, it's not as "right away" as you may imagine. But I suppose that I am an exception that you can easily discount as part of your confirmation bias. "You jumped directly to an accusation of confirmation bias.  The context was specific to 5E, so I interpreted it in that context.  But your statement was an "attack" proclaiming my conformation bias.  Don't attack someone and then ask them to not act like they have been attacked.I'm completely good with you attacking me all you want.  But trying to have it both ways is silly.I don't think you understand the definition of confirmation bias. Perhaps you really didn't mean an attack and simply didn't understand your own words.  If so, I accept that.But what you are describing here is not confirmation bias, it is just simple rational categorization of data.  And recognizing outliers and minority subsets is entirely reasonable and involves no bias.</blockquote>
