Guild Wars 2

During beta, the game’s engine would ask you for feedback on certain dynamic events, personal story quests, and the leveling experience in general, giving you the option to rate how fun, how difficult, etc. the content was for the sake of feedback.

Why not bring this feature back for widespread application and community polling? Any major question can be put to the test. Some examples:

1) Is this dynamic event chain fun? Rewarding? Too easy? Too difficult?

2) How do you feel about recent updates to this particular dynamic event (in reference to the current situation in Orr)?

3) Do your class’s current weapon options satisfy you? Regardless of answer, a new poll question comes up – if more were to be added, what would you most like to see?

4) What new race would you most like to see in a future update from the options below?

5) Do you enjoy underwater combat? Use the comment box to suggest improvements.

6) Is this zone/dungeon/boss event sufficiently rewarding? (Only asked to level 80 characters who have spent a sufficient number of hours playing there).

7) How do you feel about the current legendary selection? Use the comment box for specific feedback.

8) How do you feel about the pricing of new gem store items?

Many other questions can be answered by this system. It struck me as such a versatile and convenient tool back in beta that it baffles me that the feature was not used for continued development of the game after launch.

As an added advantage, it is one of the only polling methods that can encompass the entire active playerbase.

I agree with this completely! It would certainly be better then posting things they will never read. I would support this 100% if they put it into the game with a short comment section to express just what is wrong with it.

I feel that questions like these should never be asked to the general player base.

EVERYONE wants more. It’s a simple fact of life. For the first question, there would be thousands of useless “gibe me machinegun plox” answers. for the second, Everyone will say no because they want more loot, and the third, most people will say it’s too high not because it is, but because everyone wants more for less.

These questions worked during beta because they were simple. Did you enjoy this/did you enjoy that type of questions are okay. Questions like the above are not okay in my opinion.

Also, who is going to go through the millions of poll answers?
