Mea.5491 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Forum polls are fun, but they can be inaccurate because only a small part of the playerbase votes on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'm picking other only because I truly completely honestly like it to death. I just can't pick the 1st option because that "L" word is in there. Can't pick the 2nd option as I've not seen a poll I've really didn't like. Just maybe those I find stupid/silly/idiotic like the few I've seen on "Do you like the last balance?" and the options being something like "No." "Hell no." "There was a patch?" "I like bacon." or something. Can't really call them annoying. Just childish and not worth wasting time thinking on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Sometimes it's useful, sometimes it's fun. And if it is a bad poll it's no worse than bad topics which have always existed and probably always will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasa Devi.7958 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'd like them better if it were possible to make polls allowing multiple answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martnor.1746 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I like the system although some people are really abusing it by creating polls about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoctor.2738 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Polls that are used to gather information are fine, although the sample is too small to get conclusive results of any kind. But I hate Petitions disguised as polls. "Arenanet you should do _this_ because my poll said so" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirlias.8104 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 > @"Linken.6345" said: > No to many polls This is the current situation. And also many of them do not have proper options. I tend to make 3 option polls like yes, no, other, but some players tende to use all 10 slots for nothing. And some other players tende tp spam many polls. Howerver it does not harm at all...It's slightly dispersive. That’s all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I wish there were more options than 10, and that there were multiple-option polls, like choose 3 from a list, and stuff like that.

Leo G.4501 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I don't like when people try to use polls as evidence, which is why I don't vote in them. If people never took them seriously, I might vote on polls, but posters were siting poll numbers with regards to the whole mount skin controversy as if it actually meant something.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 On the whole, I think it's distracting for people. People use it to push points of view or as if it can establish a sense of what the community is thinking. I can't imagine that anyone would care that much if the new forums never included polls and I don't think anyone would remember in six months if polls were disabled entirely today. They work best for fluff questions ("how many map completions" or "how old") and most misused for serious questions ("who wants ANet to give us something for free, without reducing any of the other things we get?") I usually don't pick a response because most of the time, they options are misleading. This poll falls into the 'fluff' category quite nicely, along with its tongue-in-cheek options.

notebene.3190 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Clearly this poll is misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoSundown.5419 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Polls have certainly provoked discussion. The forums have been boring post Mountgate, so I view provoking discussion as a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
