You mean 23.8%? And fail to mention 40.6% wants more story-based quests and Side Quests?
That only 10.3% wanted Wards fix to take priority compared to 36.8% wanting content and 24.2% wanting battle fixes?

We could play with these numbers all day. We could also say that story-based quests & Side Quests that result in new gear, or entirely new systems (like Dungeons) will be on hold while we work on an Auction House system because why implement a new system of trading/selling gear when we'll just have to re-do much of the code every time we add new gear? So the majority should yield to the minority again? We should throw away something that works fine for something that makes us feel safe and secure like we're in another MMO we played?

Honestly, re-poll and I'm sure you'll find you are (still) in the minority.
Though I think a re-poll at this juncture would make Yoshida appear weak (again).

I would certainly be curious how many people want to delay content distribution for more months while they work on a system of menus that serve a function that already exists in the game. I"m guessing if they phrased it that way anyone who understood it (debatable these days) would say "No, thanks. I'll take content, please."
