[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9191059, member: 7025282"] I think once this topic moved to a statement of fact it is reasonable to ask for some data that supports the claim. In terms of helpfulness, I can offer observations and opinions. But I also would say if I don’t play say rangers, it is a bit absurd for me to comment at great length about them. Conversely I have played and DM’d for fighters. If someone is saying something that is contrary to what I observe as a statement of fact I will listen to what is said and wait for some proof if I am interested. I am not making many statements about the highest tier because I rarely play to that point…yet. I genuinely was asking for some data about fighters being unpopular…I had not heard that. Now that I asked, it appears the discussion is more about playstyle and editions. In those cases I can only say I know what appeals to me and what does not. At that juncture I am not trying to help per se and am acknowledging the limits of my experience. What I am not doing is using the royal “we” and stating my opinion as a largely held truth. Because it’s just my opinion…and so far, no one is able to prove even the unpopularity part, much less the other stuff. I was genuinely trying to see what I missed but really came away with some People really prefer vanilla or chocolate. All good.if that is what it is, it’s fine. [/QUOTE]
