Thus, that group you're talking about is a nonissue. The group that matters are the people who WANT new classes, and would participate in polls like that one. In every single poll like that, the Tinker wins.
Here's my issue with this discussion; People here don't mind saying that the Dark Ranger and the Necromancer are popular concepts, yet those same people say that people hate the Tinker concept. However, the Tinker beats those class concepts every time. In many cases, it beats them in dominant fashion.
So yes, I think it's a vocal minority who comes into Tinker threads with an axe to grind. Maybe they don't like Goblins, maybe they don't like steampunk, maybe they don't like me. However, the fact remains that when the rubber hits the road, when we talk about the most desirable class concept, the Tinker is clearly in the top spot.
