I was curious. When 5e was first designed, it went through a lot of playtesting. From all of that work and playtesting, a key balancing assumption formed was 6-8 encounters in a day before a long rest.
Now I know several people on the forum (including myself) think that number is too high. But clearly it came from somewhere, and a lot of 5e was adjusted in the beginning due to player feedback.
Was this an area where players generally gave feedback that they did 6-8 encounters? Was it a poll question answered at some point?
