Yes, sorry that I read the words you posted and interpreted this

The former is useful, the latter corrupts and taints the results, discrediting the survey.
As 'One of these pieces of feedback is good (useful), and the other has to be discarded because including it would be bad (taints results)'. On first glance it looks very strange, to try and imply that one kind of feedback is ok, and another kind has to be 'segregated off' for some reason. Again, it's not ideal that there's no detail on 'why is EW SMN a dumpster fire', but the fact someone feels that way should be included, I think, whether they main the job or not. Adding a conditional at the top of 'does the person who absolutely despises X job's design play it' is kinda weird. For example, if someone thinks 'EW SMN is a dumpster fire', there's a pretty good chance that no, they don't play it actually. But they still should have their voice on it heard, because otherwise it's just the people who DO play it (and presumably enjoy it, hence why they play it) who get to say how they feel about it.

You can put a thingy at the top to say 'I play X Y Z jobs', but it just runs the risk of being an identifier of 'this data can be thrown out because 'its tainted'. It gives the interpreter of the data, the subconscious 'out' to say 'well you don't even play the class, opinion discarded' and ignore parts of the data they do not agree with. And that's much worse than someone who despises BLM's design from sneaking their opinion in when they don't play it. From what I saw in the previous survey, most people were actually pretty sensible and only answered for the jobs that they play or have some stake in (previously mained etc) anyway. BLM's super-high score would never have happened if the 'I HATE BLM IT IS HORRIBLE' players had actually piped up

So yes, please forgive me for assuming that the suggestion is just a thinly veiled attempt to sneak in a way to say 'well, 85% of players responded that SCH should have more damage actions in it's main rotation, but look! 80% of those people don't even PLAY SCH (even though they might have mained it in previous expansions), so we have to consider that factor too!'
