[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8410318, member: 6704184"] Not enough so to cast any serious doubt on the data, no. Not really, because within a campaign, content can be shared, so it’s not “users who have spent money on the game” but rather “users who have spent money or who are in a campaign where someone has spent money on content”. so unless you can make a compelling argument that people who want to use ddb are different in playstyle from people who don’t, rather than play styles being varied in the same ways amongst ddb users as amongst VVT users and amongst non digital tool users, there is no reason to doubt the data provided as largely representative. Especially since wizards has often backed up the specific thing in question, ie that the majority of players don’t take feats (and if they do it’s late in a campaign), don’t choose options for optimization value, and tend to choose the classic and simple options over more complex stuff.
