I also did not see any in game messages as I did not play for long yesterday. But had I, I would not be on the forums complaining about it
Yet here you are complaining about our complaining. Hmmm. Are you just mad because we have an opinion that is not yours? Have you never disliked something and voiced it?
No, I am not. I just participated in the poll and was jumped by some random guy. Thanks for your input, though.

*shrug* one time I'm not worried about. If this starts happening on the regular, then I'll want to say something.
Of course, that's also if I'm even online when these messages come up...
You could buy a Premium/Pro piece of software with zero ads, or you could get the freeware edition of that software full of ads.. its your choice

I really hope someone is paying more attention to this poll.

What about "I don't really care one way or the other." No? Not an option? Biased poll is for entertainment purposes...
I voted yes, but it comes with a caveat. Very long breaks between messages and only short, simple messages when there's some special change or addition. If you're going to advertise the crown store on pet day, for example, then there better be a discount on the pets to go along with it. Don't be using obscure holidays as an excuse just to say that the in game store exists.
System messages that simply wish everyone a good holiday on one of the major ones are also acceptable as long as they follow the rule of being short and sweet with long breaks between.

Biased? lol ok Well if you don't care about the subject than why would you care if there isn't an "idc" option?. Its to get the population of the forums opinion... yay or nay.
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything!
Rather than onscreen ads, why not work it into game immersion? Create a Crown Store in each major, city close to the banks. There could also be a ~very~ small chance an NPC will approach players with a short sales pitch (like a town crier) about checking out the items in the store.
Having a different opinion doesn't come under pithy statements. If you're asking people to look at results, then you want a scientific poll, which this is not (and indeed none of them are). Sample set, questions, and the ability to represent all views are the bare minimum for a poll. And this has... none of those characteristics.

No. I don't want to be in the game thinking about anything else outside of it. I know there's a store when I login, I see it on the launcher. That's enough. There are enough people that don't want to be advertised to warrant keeping the game ad-free.

I have to agree on the immersion ads thing. Nothing is more immersion breaking than putting an advertisement in an immersion wrapper. Imagine having a random Nord NPC walk up to you and say "What are you, some kind of milk drinker? You should stop by the Crown Store and pick up a cool, refreshing Mead Bundle for only 500 crowns!"
No thank you.

This poll, dear sir, by definition is not biased. It is not misleading, it does not guide you. It is not telling in one way or the other what the OP stands for. Simple, direct.

I am not sure how you read this poll to be forceful, brief, yes... but not forceful so I am not sure where you are getting pithy statements from the poll itself.
You say you don't care, that isn't really having a different opinion. Its not having one. Again, if you don't care, then why would you wish to vote anyhow?

Pithy statements from your quote. Forceful? I never used that word, unless we're getting into a language situation. Not caring or does not matter is a stance. Just not one represented. Note that all of the ZOS polls that we received during beta had them. Because choosing not to care is a choice, and is included in a count of the respondents. If you don't include it, then those aren't included in your totals, and skew the results.
