[ I almost put this in line, then decided not to break the request of the thread former. ]



{sorry to break 'form' here. I just cant respond to this with yes or no. To respond at all I must explain}


We all want more DE content (Yes'ish). but im, '?'ish' on this idea, if im understanding it, of tallying a vote as a demand. Its not telling them anything new. Maby it will tally a number who care. I could be yes on that count.


They know we want more content. A poll of who 'demands' more content., it just doesnt seem to help anything. Yelling louder probly wont help. I think they see the egg on thier face.


I think votes to determine the will of DEs on specific issues can be influential and valuable. I think '~Do we want more content?' is redundant. If not and thats the question Im YES 'Do we "demand" more?' I dont think "demand" realy has any power over them. Just so many Ewok spears off an X-wing. The vibe just doesnt seem right.


[ now out of thread I'll feel free to blab on ]


I think a clearification vote might be good sometime. They took 'NO DH' to maby mean No (Powerfull) Combat droids. I think our will is to have powerfull combat droids *within* the DE proffession.


I have not given up on an inherant DE droid cert. But polls of 'Do we want Powerfull combat droids [yes], [no]. {im yes on this}


Or If we must have a DH profession To, have Powerfull droids, then do we want a DH. {im a bit hesitant to give in yet, or say this yet. But I admit in yes on this}


Or maby most importantly. As there is possibly confusion now as to what DEs want. a multiple choice poll.


[A] I just want more powerfull combat droids I dont care about anything else.


[B} I want powerfull combat droids, And more 'utility droids' more variety of function etc.


[C] I just want more 'utility droids' more variety of function etc. I dont care about powerfull combat droids.


[no reply] I just dont care. (g)


This would address the ~I'm hearing DEs just want more 'utility droids' and dont care about more powerfull combat drioids.~, thing.



Now Im not trying to post this as a poll. Just as a discussion on polls and why Im confused about '(W)'s poll.


I think the best use of a poll,is to find developer perceptions. Like 'DEs want (or dont want) this', or 'Players want that' etc. When we find a perception we don't like that we think is untrue. Then a Vote, more or less proving the truth. Can be Very Powerfull.


(then if they still, dont agree they would have to switch to, 'this would imbalance this or that' or 'such a thing can not be easily enough coded in a platform such as SWG' 'or whatever') (g)

You all should leave the poll writing to the professional.


Note: Kids...don't try writing polls at home. This should only be done by professionals that know how to put forth polls that will cover the topics at issue and not bias the results via vague or enigmatic wording.



My answer to your poll is: Huh?
