I doubt it matters, the logical thing for WotC to do is to discard any feedback related to lore, since it isn’t the type of feedback they were interested in,

The negatives on it have mostly been lore related, whereas actual subclass discussion has been relatively positive if I recall
You do have to remember though, in terms of negative? The original PDK has one of the most negative receptions of any subclass, short of original Beastmaster and the Battlerager. We're not talking a beloved subclass being re-designed, we're talking "Avoid this subclass" being redesigned into something being worth considered

They didn't solicit any, just the heat map of "does this Fighter Spark Joy?"

You can give specific feedback if you rate something yellow. But it's probably safer for WotC to throw the lot away as spoiled data.

That is not logical, because ignoring that feed back because it's not what you want to hear has consequences in terms of sales and backlashes and other headaches.

They would ignore it because it’s irrelevant - UA is for game mechanics feedback, not class fluff feedback. They have never issued lore-based UA.

It might not be the reason they put out the survey, but you never ignore market data just because it isn't what you were looking for, from a business perspective if it could and likely will effect sales you don't just ignore it, you pay attention.

WotC have their own reasons for making Cormyr more modern and interesting. That’s happening irrespective of if there is a subclass or not. Ergo, the feedback is irrelevant.

Who says they aren't? Maybe the feedback was a big thumbs up.

Oh? Do we actually know anything about what they're doing with Cormyr or the Purple Dragon Knights beyond this subclass that has very little lore attached to it? Have they done any videos on the subject? Because, if not, I'm just thinking it's a little soon to determine what's going one way or another without more information.
