Why not have -Weekly- OFFICIAL dev polls?

If Hideo Kojima directed this game we'd have an epic story at the very least and we can be sure to have quality gameplay...and considering his experience with MGS3 the Black Shroud might actually look like a forest!

I agree. The game needs product placements inside the game like floating Dorito chips in Gridania forest it would give it a sense of immersion and excitement.

Dorito's chips.

No, Peregine's right on this one. We absolutely did tell them not to release it. The beta feedback forums were inundated with posts telling SE, straight out, push back the release date on this game. It's not ready. I remember the deluge, because I was one of the many people saying it.

They just didn't listen.

This is absolutely, 100% true. However, on the other spectrum (as there is always both sides present) there were just as many people saying "no release now. We don't wanna wait. No MMO is ever finished. You can fix this stuff later." Of course, these people mistakenly believed there was better stuff they were not allowing beta testers access to, so naturally they wanted the game to release so they could see it. Too bad it wasn't there. ^^

What's the point of in forum polls? Most of the people that stopped playing are not going to be running around forums.

You'd think???

but...

For some reason... It seems like a lot of people stopped playing the game so they could play the forums full time
