I'm actually on your side when it comes to player freedom in a single player game. As long as I can choose to not use the exploits then I'm okay. I'm not okay with game mechanics that are broken like height advantage. That's because even though I may refrain from what I see as an exploit, the mobs will not. So that is not okay.
As for your odd question asking people to reveal basic information about themselves, I don't see the benefit. Statistically, it's pretty meaningless so all you are doing is confirming your own biases. People can have radically different outlooks in life and gaming in similar socioeconomic and age groups. How about you just offer your opinions to the devs knowing that you will most likely not influence or change a bunch of strangers online?
