One Year Later - Opinion Poll

[Shikyo]

The community is only bad when they're allowed to speak their mind about anything, i.e. Enter Gifthorse. When you're given a set of questions however with direct answers, you don't get opinionated baseless facts and rants. All you get is results.

This is why this poll seems to be working thus far.

And that is exactly the BS that the company wants ppl to think that poll is so fake the results are just generated to make ppl think that everything thats being done is generally accepted by the majority, when the game hits a wall they see that a low lvl buisness ploy would not rake in consumers =/

Lol, yea these results are fake <___> /endsarcasm

The problem is that FFXIV comes off as a game that's still in "Alpha" phase.

Some of my friends have said that they would rather have Guild Wars 2 in Beta form, than XIV in its current state.

thing is this is a poll on a forum that requires you to have played the game in the last month to post, hence a lot of people who left are no longer here. The other thing is i think it signifies that the people playing mostly think its an average game with some potential. They are mostly optomistic. I am not anymore, but i can accept that overall its probably pretty accurate for the people who frequent this forum. A lot more people are ok with the game than i thought.

the thing here, is. A rating of average is actually pretty bad, it usually means im only here till something better comes along.

Even with my pessimism a concede the possibility that eventually this game might be good/interesting.

Considering I was the first one to answer this poll when results was just me... They are not fake... Also this isn't a poll developed by SE it was made by a forum goer... way to go saying this was a ploy by SE -.-

i know i support SE and really want this game to be one of the best MMO's in the market, that being said, we cant deny the fact that this game still needs allot of work to start competing with other upcoming games.

no AH, no mail system, no LFG system and allot of other things that are basic in all MMO's still don't exist in here, i say 6 more months and it might be worth playing.

You still believe in the mighty AH in FFXIV still?

Obviously if you filter out people who dislike the game (i.e., those who think SE are not adding stuff fast enough, changing stuff for the worse, and think it's a crap game), then all that's left will be people who like the game (people who like the speed of progress, the changes, and think it's just an all-round fun time). So it's statistically fallacious to gauge popular opinion by asking only the latter group of people, which is what you do when you conduct a poll in a FFXIV forum where most of the people who are unhappy would have already left, and hence be unable to participate in the survey.
