Guild Wars 2

Anet gives us updates and we share our feedback in forums, reddit or whatever site Anet seeks feedback from. This takes time, jumping from website to website, going through threads and finally having a employee or whoever it is to decide whether that information is important or not.

A lot of us players discuss updates all the time within in-game, youtube, twitch, other site’s forums and even teamspeak. Yet, Anet is not getting all of our feedback and they just focus on what they want their source and feedback to be. Most of us forums users are the same people posting and suggesting things over and over again. Basically making us the minority and the people Anet is getting feedback from. But what about the majority of the players who just log in and play, not forum friendly, or just dont speak up but still have their opinion towards the game. They’re talking and no one is listening, all part of miscommunication between customer and a company.

My suggestion is to introduce a questionnaire poll system within in-game. This way all players who actually play the game can send feedback to Anet. I’m talking about major updates that affect the entire game. Voting whether players like, dislike, reverts, does not affect me or do mot wish to participate type of answers can give Anet an idea of how the entire game population feels about certain updates.

My current idea is to add such feature in the character selecting screen with a new icon. This way it doesn’t interrupt with anyone and if a player wishes to not participate then they’ll be fine but they will always have that option. Post polls should be submitted every week, having between 5-10 question or have top concerns or suggestion by players that Anet might want to consider.

Anyways, you get the idea. Do you guys think this could be a good feedback feature instead of just having Anet throwing us sticks and rocks while expecting us to dodge everything.

The game occasionally does ask for opinions on content. However, I imagine that a large portion of players just ignore it.

you just said it,
the only place i know is twitch while they’re live streaming and im never on during that time.

everyone would have more access to vote and answer questions. in the end it will be as easy as looking at a graph to determine if people like it or not
