    Yep. That would certainly help.

    Here's how you really manage to get the poll to all of the players:

    Advertise in the launcher, on the forums, on the Lodestone, on Mog Station, send an email to registered account holders.

    Have the poll accessible through your Square-Enix account. This way you can ensure that each customer/account holder participates only once. (Fine, multiple times if they have more than one account, but hey, if they're paying for it, sure, who cares.)

    Another player poll would be great, but, as we've seen, I feel like they structure the questions so they get the response they want, rather than the response we want them to get ^^

    Everyone thought paid retainers and fantasia would be the end of it.
    You were warned.

    This has been a huge complaint of mine because I really hate how politicians use it in debates, giving people a false sense of power in "deciding" the questions when all it is is the questions are already pre-screened and chosen but they can say "these are people submitted questions." Having said that it's the same thing that happens with the Live Letters and us asking questions, all the questions they're going to answer have been chosen already but we as the community are given a chance to "ask" the tough questions.

    Despite players having voted for instanced fights in that example poll, that's all we really had in 1.23. We had instanced fights whether it was Van Darnus, Garuda, Good King Moggle Mog XIIth, Artifact Armor fights, Hamlet...but I don't think those players voting could have pictured what 2.0 was going to be. As far as things had been discussed I'm sure most assumed it was going to be like 1.23 but without the animation lock. When it comes to "dungeons" and "battles" I don't think anyone was thinking that beastmen strongholds and the open world dungeons (Shposae, Cassiopea Hallow, etc) were real "dungeons" and should be instanced to reduce competition.

    Also agreed with everything LlenCoram has said. DoL was made so easy that it's actually more stressful because the markets have been destroyed, only reason I even DoL anymore is to get my map everyday and while looking for that map I'll gather shards.
