[DEV] Will SE do another overall survey of the whole player base?

[KaiKatzchen]

I honestly believe that SE needs to do a full player survey that is put up on the opening screen so everyone can see it, and then left up for a few weeks to get an honest overview of how people feel about subjects such as:



Would you want F2P
Do you feel the game is too hard?
Would you want a cash shop?

My reasoning behind this is due to an overall reaction that I get from people, especially the ones who do not feel comfortable coming to the forums here. Also I feel by having a survey SE would get a better overall view of how people feel about the current game, and the direction you are thinking of taking it.

As I said above, not everyone comes to the forums. It seems like a lot of the people I know who do enjoy the game; the difficulty, etc… have no reason to come to the forums because they are busy playing. I have also heard a lot of people say they do not come to the forums, or do not feel comfortable coming to the forums, due to several reasons such as: drama, being attacked for their opinion or comments, being trolled etc.

SE has done it before when that asked what races we would like to see if more were added, what we did with our time, what race we players etc… So why can’t SE do it to get an honest and more balanced look at how players truly feel about the game, it’s direction, and possible game changing ideas such as F2P and cash shops?

I have seen a lot of people’s logical posts and good ideas get washed away on the forums. This is a way SE can get an accurate idea of how people feel and I truly believe it is something SE needs to do. Yes it would take a bit of effort, but I feel the information gathered would help SE a lot with the direction the game is going.

Edit: What survey questions would you like to see??

• How do you feel about the difficulty of content within the game?
• Would you support the game going Free-to-Play?
• Would you support a cash shop?
• How do you feel about diversity of content available?
• What kind of player do you consider yourself?

Just examples.

"Do you want see more content for 16/24 men raids"?

• Do you prefer a faster pace in the game or a slower one?
• Are the rewards satisfying enough?

1) would you like to see 16-man content introduced? (yes!)

2) would you like to see harder 24-man content introduced? (yes!)

3) would you like to see: a) card game, b) blitzball, or c) classic turn-based jrpg minion dueling? (yes, yes, yes!)

• What kind of guild would you like the most to see implemented?

Just some other questions I thought up:

Would players like crafting to have more of an endgame presence?
Will Musketeer be coming out on or before the next expansion release?

and while this isn't a real 'poll question' I would like to know:

Will SE ever put out a stat reset scroll for chocobo's for those who accidentally put stats in multi-classes before realizing they could only specialize in one?
