Since you are the one who seems to be posting all those polls on the main page, may I make some suggestions to this? Most people are concerned that these polls have very little to the game or even to gathering information to improve it; it appears to be nonsensical data collection. Instead, how about you do polls about things that we the players may want the Developers to know about and to focus on? For example Poll Titles:
Which Feature do you think needs addressing the most in the next patch?
-> PVP
-> Itemization
-> Lag and/or Rubberbanding
-> A combination of the three above
Which Act do you think requires the most polishing, in terms of content in that Act, or monster density?
-> Act 1
-> Act 2
-> Act 3
-> Act 4
-> All Acts are fine.
Which Crafting skill do you think requires more time and effort put into it to make it a viable option?
-> Blacksmithing
-> Jewelcrafting
-> No Change
Which Diablo 3 boss do you think needs the most work on to make it competitive compared to the other bosses?
-> Butcher
-> Belial
-> Azmodan
-> Diablo
-> No Change
Which Act is the best for farming for gear and for levels at Inferno difficulty?
-> Act 1
-> Act 2
-> Act 3
-> Act 4
-> All Acts are equally good.
Which Stat Affix that is required for MP do you think needs to be upgraded so that it is competitive to other Stats?
-> Single Resistance
-> Life on Hit
-> Life on Kill
-> Off Stats (ie Dex for Barb)
-> HP from Health Globes/Potions
-> No change needed
I think Lylirra if you posted polls on these topics, or related to them that the Playerbase would be more enthusiatic when you make them, and less negative overall.
Poll Suggestions!Source
We enjoy making polls that engage players on multiple different levels, not just about gameplay mechanics, like seeing who people believe is the greatest “Great Evil,” or what Act III environment is your favorite from a purely aesthetic perspective. With that in mind, the bulk of the ideas you listed aren’t really appropriate for our weekly polls (though I did like “Which Act is the best for farming for gear and for levels at Inferno difficulty?” Thanks!). The polls we post are used to discuss the game as it is now and encourage discussion on those topics; they aren’t made to act as a sort of petition system in order to enact changes on various topics.
We realize that different players have all sorts of varied feedback on portions of the game. That’s totally cool and we genuinely do welcome and encourage that feedback. However, when I read through this list, I noticed a common trend that I wanted to address.
Each act, boss, and stat affix in Diablo III aren’t meant to be equal or directly competitive with each other. For instance, the various bosses should pose a notable challenge leading up to the final show-down with Diablo, but I think it’s unrealistic to expect for all bosses to be precisely as difficult as say, the Lord of Terror: Diablo. They have different abilities and tactics that will pose varying challenges to different classes, much as different affix combinations on Elites are more or less challenging to players depending on who you talk to, what gear they are wearing, etc. In terms of stat affixes, you might also want to check out what I said in this thread. In short: we like that players often have to weigh their options when comparing gear and it would be impossible (and even boring) if everything were exactly equal.
