    I really don't mind the polls. It's fun to get a quick snapshot of how people stand on a certain topic.

    The only thing I will add to that is the fact that they are clearly marked, don't like them? Don't open the thread. Simples!

    Anyone that comments about their dislike for polls on a poll thread, (maybe with the exception of this one comes across as an idiot imo.

    No, because I like pushing buttons.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    A better question, why? Some polls are clearly biased and stupid, but others are actually useful for getting a general feel of a concept or topic. Avoid one and vote in the other.

    I answered no, but I had to subject a poll to see if answering polls about a poll is acceptable. The outcome of my poll was that it is indeed correct to answer your poll, hence my answer !

    I love polls. I don't know why, there's just something compelling about them, I'd mourn them if they were gone.

    But seriously now, they are a useful tool in certain circumstances. People overuse them on this forum, but it doesn't mean taking them away is a good solution.

    Remove the whole Polling function.
    I'd say remove polls all together. Even though I find them interesting myself, they have no point. Look at the current debate about difficulty. Going through the forums almost every single poll about difficulty has been from someone who thinks it was too hard. None of the polls went their "way". Now they pass the poll off as false and not indicative of the majority. In my time lurking the forum I've seen all polls go like that... the side that "loses" calls the poll biased or just plain wrong and flippantly dismisses the results. So, what is the point? Just useless clutter.

    +1 AWESOME @ this poll

    Personally I'm tired of the biased and undisciplined/unpunished bait and troll abuses with the use of worthless polls I've seen in the past.

    Let's compromise.

    Let's just remove all polls about removing polls.

    A poll about polls. You're aware that if polls had been removed before you suggest it here, you wouldn't have been able to submit this poll....

    Somehow, it's similar to the posts whining about other whining posts... these posts are huge paradoxes at their core.
