Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 8783849" data-attributes="member: 4348">The survey is ONE source of information they are gathering...I assume.I don't know how many ACTIVE D&D players there are, so 4 million is a pretty wild guess.  It could be 5 million or 10 million (I would actually say 10 million could be on the excessively extremely high end of guesses, in relation to a PHB buying question I asked previously here, though obviously this could be a skewed sample size in relation to reality, I really need to ask how many use a PHB at the table as a follow up on that).  BUT 40K was 1% of 4 million, so went with 4 million.However, there are other sources of information (or I am pretty sure there are).  Some have been internal tests that have already been going on most likely.  Another source are NDA'd testers that are out there (perhaps with a fuller set of rules than what you see with UA).  Another source which may not be AS reliable, but easy to see and get commentary live are forums, reddits, facebook, instagram, and other areas of social media that fans congregate and talk about these things.  Obviously, an easy one is also to check comments and statements on D&D beyond and other places like that as well.  In addition, it need not just be forums, sending people to the CONS and just listening there to what people are saying and talking about (could be passive, could be active) is another source.Survey's are a major source I imagine, but the don't have to be the ONLY source of information or feedback they are gathering.</blockquote>
