Do You Find Player Created Polls in Company Game Forums an Utter Waste of Time? 58 votes

Not at all. They deliver that all important illusion of making their opinions count.

Yes, they only deliver the illusion that players' opinions count.

    More Polls!!!!! because you can tell everything from the most unsatisfied .00001% of the Playerbase. Also numbers you make up are true but outside websites that don't come from ZOS are false, and some articles that come from ZOS are also made up and false.

    You see, in terms of research..qualitative and quantitative are two things..sometimes for the developers its easier to make a decision or an overall opinion from the community through both types of data. Sometimes one is easier to use than the other..for example..a poll rather than comments..its a number game sometimes..which it should be for the game developers as it is what the people want they are voting for etc.

    Um.. I don't know if they actually matter to the devs. It's obviously in their best interest to try and make the player base happy, so they can keep getting a paycheck. Bottom line though I just sometimes find them interesting to see what other peoples opinions are, but not much more than that,

    If you aren't at least vaguely interested in expressing your opinions and/or reading those of other players why would you bother even coming to the site?

    Oh yes! That false feeling of superiority you got when you posted this poll! :)

    What we should have are polls created by ZOS and have our opinions matter. Polls on the forums are just a passive-aggressive way for people to voice discontent. Here are some topics I could suggest for ZOS:
    • Should we stop worrying about creating new content every 6 weeks and fix the game we are charging you for?
    • Should we prioritize things that we break with our patches and come out with hotfixes for game breaking bugs?
    • Should we not pretend like everything is okay with the nightblade class and actually make adjustments so that it's in line with the other classes?
    Those are just a few off the top of my head.

    I think I tripped over a poll like this in one of the weekend beta events. Really shouldn't leave polls lying around like this, someone may get hurt.

    Life is just an illusion. Polls are too. Ergo, polls are vital.

    I swear this game forum has more polls than the adult entertainment awards.

    Well if they were representative of the whole player base they might be useful but they reflect only the opion of forum users who are the minority. Usually vocal, bitter minority...
