Dear Kamate,
I'm Japanese, and usually read and write in Japanese forum.
Off course, there is same vote in Japanese forum.
However, I found that there is a serious different exists in these forums.
Mocchi, the Japanese forum's community rep, said that this sentence as follows before question:
"For first, please leave about Synergy aside for this vote, because we'll consider whether we adopt Synergy for enhancing reric gears or not, based on the result of this vote and feedbacks."

In English forum, Kamate said that "Please let us know if you prefer static stats or random stats when adding your stats via synergy."
In a word, In Japanese forum, users are asked "Which do you like [Static Stats] or [Randam Stats]?", on the other hand in English forum users are asked "Which do you like [Static stats via Sinergy] or [Randam Stats via Sinergy]?".
It is great difference.
I think most of user prefer [Static Status without Sinergy], and some of user [Randam Stats without Sinergy], and very few of user like [Static Stats with Sinergy] and [Randam Stats with Sinergy].
Kamate, could you kindly confirm this difference, and if you can, correct the question and ask again?
I guess it is better for English speaking user that [leave about Synergy aside] question.
And if Kamate's question is right... SE tried to {Trick Attack} to Japaneser users to introduce Synergy by force ><.
