    So am I but if you think these numbers represent anything more than a fraction of the populace you're delusional.

    Unless of course you're only for numbers when it suits your purpose.

    lol, you do know how polls work?
    ok so you can't ask every1, so you take a poll. you turn the numbers from you poll into percentages. then you can use the percentage to scale up to cover whole community. thus finding out what the community thinks without asking every1 to answer the question. democracy's have been using polls to find out which party/person is ahead before the ballot box has even opened. do you think they would use polls and waste all that time and money if they don't give a good idea of what the community is doing or thinking?

    now i'm not saying a poll is 100 percent accurate all the time. but they are a good pointer to what the feeling is. and when the margin is as big as is in this poll. you can pretty much say the answer is. no we don't want a stupid arse dragon with our dragoons

    Yes - I know how polls work. If you think this is a scientific poll in the slightest way you're (again I say) delusional. It isn't a significant marker in the slightest way or all the fools who wanted Market Wards to stay as is would have had their way because the same "polling" was done. That poll "pointed" to wanting to keep the wards as is because it was (lol) immerse to the game environment.

    Stop bloviating. These numbers are meaningless (just as they are in every "poll" taken here) in comparison to the whole.

    what are you talking about 326 ppl have voted. unless the same person has voted over and over again making the outcome a like. then the poll has worked and we get an idea of what the community thinks. you might think these ppl are idiots coz they don't agree with your views. but that is not how a poll works all a poll is, is numbers and numbers do not lie
