The staff of Dragon and Dungeon magazine (I know Johnny Wilson and Erik Mona do) visit these boards regularly, so even Paizo checks these boards (among others) to see what we're thinking.And you know something funny? The past two years, these boards have been AWASH in "Harm/Haste/Rangers are broken" threads. I'm not saying they're wrong or right, but DOZENS of posters have presented thousands of words of exposition, facts, figures, and anecdotes for or against the power level of Haste. It's really a "darned if you do/don't" scenario. I guarantee anyone cash on the barrel-head that, had they not touched Haste come July's revision, there would be threads on ENWorld, about 25% of which we would have to lock up, with titles like, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T FIX HASTE!!!" or WTH is up with Harm not getting fixed!?!?!?! and so on, and so forth.How do we know that WotC employees and affiliates look at these boards?They tell us. Paizo's staff REQUESTED, for instance, that we put [Dragon], [Dungeon], and [Poly] tags on all threads having to do with them.Anthony Valterra is head of RPG Category at WotC, and a regular contributor to these boards.If one were to look, one would see almost half of the WotC designers, past and present, have user accounts at ENWorld.People look. We just aren't the only voices they hear.</blockquote>
