[QUOTE="JEB, post: 8250040, member: 10148"] Just to be clear, the question I literally asked is, "Which of the following elements should D&D keep in future editions?" I didn't ask people to say if they thought the element was [I]important[/I] to keep. I just asked if they, personally, wanted D&D to keep it. Ranking the results by importance is my assessment, based on the assumption that if someone actively wants D&D to keep a thing, then to them, it's important that D&D keep it. If it wasn't important to keep, they wouldn't have voted for it. I admit I'm scratching my head at the idea that someone would say they wanted D&D to keep, say, character classes, but actually not think it's important that D&D keep character classes. If that's the case, why did they vote to keep it? And likewise, if 90% of people want to keep character classes, but 30% of people want D&D to keep alignment, how it doesn't suggest that more people are interested in keeping classes than keeping alignment. That certain elements are more important to keep than others, to appeal to the widest possible number of respondents. Now, it's true that I didn't explicitly tell people to rank those elements relative to each other. Personally, that sounds like a really tough poll to answer, but the results could be extremely interesting. I just don't see why it has to be me, personally, that does the poll this time... [/QUOTE]
