Polls and the Illusion of Choice
Not sure if some of you came across this, but very well written and thought I’d share. I think the writer does an excellent job backing anet while keeping in mind players are frustrated that core issues are not getting the attention they need for the game mode to move forward.
right on spot
That is how i feel with when i read the polls….

worst article ever

worst article ever
I’d say this one sticks in my mind the most:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/12/17/there-s-little-we-can-do-to-prevent-another-massacre.html
“If we drilled it into young people that the correct thing to do is for everyone to instantly run at the guy with the gun, these sorts of mass shootings would be less deadly, because even a guy with a very powerful weapon can be brought down by 8-12 unarmed bodies piling on him at once.”
It’s kinda like those crazy roamers who dive into zergs, just follow them. It will end well lol
“….something the majority of WvW players were thrilled about”
The article goes subjective right away. Its nothing more than a long forum post that offers nothing.
Mmorpg usually has pretty terrible articles that read more like a forum kitten session. take anything they say with heaps of salt. Usually they’re mostly overly negative and don’t actually report on anything.

Aren’t all us wvwers subjective though lol

Yep, I felt that way too. For example, author gives personal interpretation of poll results. Normally something like an exit poll asking why players voted the way they did would be in order.
Then I got lost at the point the author was trying to make regarding wvw being in beta. That isn’t anything new. Devs posted here months ago explaining how wvw was going to now be beta and they would slowly introduce features from the scrapped overhaul.

Well that was a nothing article, I thought it was leading to a good conclusion but no. And it said nothing really about the polls being an illusion of choice at least not in any detail beyond a cursory mention about the polls being too directed.
Miranda Zero – Ele / Twitch Zero – Mes / Chargrin Soulboom – Engi
Aliera Zero – Guardian / Reaver Zero – Necro
There only a real chose when your given chose b and a but you have the ability to chose c or make one up and chose that. As something like that would just throw every thing in gw2 into randomness its best to keep the chooses simple and few.
