How would you patch this game?

[Gandalf Parker]

Everything has its Pros and Cons
In My Humble Opinion....
I have nothing against polls. They gather good info. Good numbers. They are viewed by and are useful to the developers. Those are the good points.

The bad points come when someone words the questions, or the follow-on discussion, in a way which tries to interpret the data for the developers. Im not saying people cant do that if they want but from what Ive seen its often done badly. They gather good numbers. Numbers that speak for themselves. But then they try and wave it in the devs faces. They use words like majorly broke, fix this, obvious errors, has to be nerfed or has to be improved, etc etc.

A large number of Users using or not using something does not automatcially mean any of those. What it means is that alot of Users use or not use that item. I think that is something the devs like to examine. In my opinion (that alone is a good phrase for some people to use more often) In my opinion such numbers mean "this is something the devs might be interested in looking at" but it does NOT mean the game is broke.

Even if I thought it WAS I wouldnt say it was because its been apparent that saying that can knock something completely OFF of the "you might want to look at this" list.
