[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4056697, member: 22779"] How many threads are there in the rules forum devoted entirely to grappling? I did a quick and dirty Google search and came up with 18 THOUSAND hits. I doubt that the WOTC site is any better. I imagine that WOTC also keeps track of the queries sent to their customer service as well. At what point can you say, "Hey, a whole bunch of people have problems with this, so, this sucks"? Is it totally qualitative? Perhaps not. But, at a certain point, you should be able to stop and say, hey, this sucks if enough people say so. Having participated in far and away too many edition war threads, I've realized that people will defend ANY rule. No matter what. I've seen people defend 1e initiative rules and those require a 20 page ADDICT document to explain! You can talk about fruit roll ups all you like, but, at the end of the day, the numbers really have to carry it. Yes, you may not have had a problem with X. But, you can probably bet that if the WOTC marketing team is allowing people to say, X sucks, then probably they know that there are a hell of a lot of people who agree with that. [/QUOTE]
