[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8904667, member: 6779196"] Oh, ok. Yeah, that checks out for the most part. I mean, obviously they aren’t looking to survey feedback for design ideas. Hell, they were outright open and explicit about that fact during the D&D Next playtest. They look first and foremost to the overall satisfaction levels, and if satisfaction is low, they look to feedback to understand [I]why[/I] people are dissatisfied. They have zero interest in suggestions for how to improve the design. They actually said during the D&D Next playtest that the most effective way to give feedback was to say what specifically you dislike about the things you rated dissatisfied, but suggestions for how to change it weren’t really taken into consideration. The only thing that surprises me about this “development” is that allegedly NO ONE reads the survey feedback. And frankly, that reads like illustrative hyperbole to me. In the Jeremy Crawford interviews, he explicitly cites the trends in reasoning why respondents are dissatisfied with certain elements, which he must have at least read [I]some[/I] of the written responses to know. I mean, I guess maybe they could have some software that scans the written responses and tells them what key words and phrases are showing up regularly. But yeah, this is really not new information to me. [/QUOTE]
