Faster leveling N0o0o0o0o0o!

[TohruHonda]

I found leveling to be far too easy already, even as a new player. I'll try working on as many 50's as I can before 2.0.

How many people did the poll? The poll was taken on 03/12/2012. There was about 12,000 subscribers when they started charging on 1/07/2012. Let's be generous and say when the polls were taken there was around 13,000 subscribers. We can almost be safe to say 3% of those 13k people took the poll, that's 390 people.... No doubt more then 3% of the player base took the poll, let's say 20% did that's 2,600 subs chop that in half and you got 1,300 people that are happy with the current leveling speed. While the results are there clear as day the percentage of players that took it aren't. Here's the source I got the 12,000 subscribers from http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/Simon...ation_Plan.php

Yeah they're not gonna show how many players took the poll. It's suppose to be our job to enjoy the game and give feedback. Their jobs to make it more fun lol

[Captain_Falcon]

20% of those polled are a significant number of people who don't like the fast level.

Unfortunately, 50% is a significant-er number of people who do like it.

The Ayes have it.

Soz.

Hope you are right.

I'll rephrase my question.

Why would SE base the future of leveling in the game off your imaginary numbers when they have the actual figures?

I can destroy your whole post by just using 1 sentence. You didnt have to be subscribed to participate in the poll.

You had to have an active account or else it would give you an error saying you needed an active account. I know, I tried

you realize your numbers are way off

there were 12-13k users ONLINE at any given time, online =/= subscribed

there were around 50k subscribers at least around that time

[ArkNova]

If the numbers were off then they're off I looked around trying to find out how many players there were around that time and the link I provided was the only one I could find =/
