[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 8331234, member: 2525"] I am not sure at all that WOTC has the data. We know how they gather data, it's been used consistently for 7 years now, and they didn't use that method to gather the data. There has been no survey, no hint of those questions, in any of their solicitations of feedback from the consumer base. There hasn't been a beta playtest set of questions about it either. There hasn't even been a casual poll through D&D Beyond, or even comments section on a video. So yes, I am being consistent. Past major changes to the game always went through a process which this one didn't go through. The consumer base has had no opportunity for input on this one, while there was an opportunity for input on all prior major changes like this. In fact there's been input on much smaller changes than this one in addition to larger changes. This one stands alone in terms of major changes which did not receive a single survey question from the consumer base. All of that is just personal conjecture and anecdotal notes. None of that is real, organized data from WOTC. That does not prove there is a prove, it simply proposes a solution to a problem which hasn't been shown to exist. I'm not. I am against major changes to the game without there being a proven problem that needs to be taught. Says you. A lot of people disagree with you on that. None of that is a common complaint about orcs. In fact it's one of the very rare times those issues have ever been raised on this message board. Again, this is a nearly unique complaint you have about drow, and I am failing to see how it relates well to this discussion about alignment. [/QUOTE]
