You'd think after a year, I would have been involved in this so-called in-game questioning or at the very least someone I know...
After posing this question to several people I have turned up the following results...
25 1 year + players = Never polled
12 "Newer" Players (under 6 months) = Never polled
So who then is being asked?
lol... Poor TH. Haden makes the mess, TH has to live with it.
Maybe we should clear up Haden's point of view: we're a small sliver of the fanbase until they need our help with something. 
20% = 1 player in 5 = not a small sliver.

At its core, the idea of polling players in game is valid and one I'd like to pursue, but when it comes to forum demographics, avid posters tend to be early adopters and power users. The feedback they provide is always valuable information

Will they ever learn? nah- don't think so
When writing your message, remember to keep the language clean.
Could we get added ontopic too. so threads don't get hijacked and ruined like this one, where most post isn't feedback.
If people want to post that they have been wronged in all kinds of ways they should start seperate threads for it.
Maybe we as grown up forum posters should start hitting the abuse button on every post that offtopic for the thread to get things moderated.
Look at more recent examples then, some things haven't changed. Apparently we are whiners now.

Isn't this quote over half a decade old and from someone who has nothing to do with SWG?
Things change. But it is interesting that there has been no postings on feedback here. I think that SOE is in need of some servere Community damage control...

Why solicit feedback from this small sliver of the overall fanbase that reads the forumwhen you could be getting much more meaningful feedback from all those people that are actually playing the game?
I've never been a big fan of Dev bashing, but this man does have a very damn good point

TH, the problem is what you've tried to accomplish has been single handidly destroyed by a fellow red name. The feedback that is provided was classified as "whines" so to speak, and that's what the message we were given. You say one thing, but the people behind you have said something completely opposite.

Sorry, but you guys don't post a damn thing of substance in a week and finally come back, what did you expect TH? You need to do some major damage control to ease the anger that many people on the forums are feeling towards not only SOE but you in general since you have been MIA it seems on any subject for days.

*** 9.2 Update Notes ***
Crafting Quests
Located in Commercial Guild Halls located in static cities now have NPC contractors that can give out new crafting missions. There are mission difficulties of easy, challenging and difficult depending the skill boxes a player possesses. The rewards granted are some credits and a small experience point bonus associated with crafting the item. The goal of the implementation of the “Crafting Quests” is to provide our wide variety of crafting professions the chance to use/sell their otherwise obsolete items and wares, creating a market for novice and intermediate crafters in a market of masters.
Are these in yet?
There have been many reports that the NPC contractors can't be found in any of the Commercial Guild Halls.
Thanks for the head's up. They will be live tomorrow.
TH - Thanks for the quick response.
Then why does SOE say the forum user are a minority and to be ignored?

And half of this thread that was meant to be about Publish Feedback but instead have people complaining about not being listened to discourages this 'whiner' stereotype how?
Sure, some things haven't changed and some things will never change but I, for one, have seen SOE listen to the customer database (including the ones on this board - as example, the non-implementation of the Droid Commander profession that was shot down by the vocal majority on these boards) and so I believe the original quote is outdated.
