So ... when people play the game, they still play fighters. Now, of course there will be those that say, "Well, people are stupid. They don't know what they are doing. All those various statistics lie. And all the times that people say what they see, that's a lie too. And maybe if we changed fighters to what I want them to be, then they wouldn't just be the most popular class, they'd be, um, the mostest popularest class."But there's clearly a contingent of people that want the fighter as it is. Just like there are people that like the Rogue (the second-most popular class). In terms of revealed preferences among the player base, we know that people are choosing what WoTC is serving. At a certain point, we should probably say, "I appreciate that you have a different opinion. I hope that you get what you want. I also trust that you understand that others want what they want, and that you can understand that they wish to get what they want."Luckily, there are a number of ways (from 3PP to homebrew to choosing a different system to play) for people to get what they want.</blockquote>
