[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5334057, member: 1"] You misunderstand me. The types of people who post here do not mesh with my real life experiences. We have here a self-selecting sub-group of the whole; they are not representative in my experience. You claim they seem representative in your real life experiences; I indicated that my own experiences were very different, and that your experience does not hold true everywhere. Most people just play the game they like and don't complain about it. You hear a vocal minority, not the silent majority. There's little point in posting to just say "I like things as they are." those people - the hhousands and thousands and thousands of visitors here who do not post - outweigh the posters many times over. So you hear that vocal minority who does like to post and say they like X or Y instead of the majority who just get on with thngs. These people are the thousands posting on character optimization boards and the like. The very people you cited. They don't start threads such as "I like D&D the way it is" on D&D boards - they post character optimization and rules-related threads. They get on with talking about and playing the game. And they comprise far more than 10% of the traffic, as you yourself pointed out. [/QUOTE]
