One Year Later - Opinion Poll

[AngryNixon]

The poll is premature unfortunately. While the selection of the one-year mark is kind of a widely accepted point at which to pause and review, in my opinion, in the context of FFXIV, it is not relevant or informative. A poll taken after the release of 1.21 would be the fairest assessment of the game I think given that, currently, that is approximately where the arc of repair and reconstruction patches concludes putting the game where it would have been at retail release, had SE not imploded the first time.

While I may stand corrected, I would estimate that any polling done at this point would yield the obvious "It's much better than it was, but still has a way to go" answer.

The problem with posting somewhere else is simply that it will most likely be biased AGAINST the game, IE people who just heard the 4.0 'meme' or left a long time ago will just vote saying everything sucks. In fact, SE will need to do a hell of a job when releasing PS3 version to change this idea.

But, if you can find a MMO forum with plenty of people that are at the very least following the news (even if not playing the game), go ahead and try posting it. That would get less 'biased' results

The link to the survey is free for anyone to do with what they wish. If someone wants to copy and paste it into another forum feel free. In fact I encourage this.

The problem with placing the Survey on outside websites is that all of the questions require the user to have been playing the game to give a valid opinion. You can't in good conscience talk about the pace of patches or if the updates are working if you have not actually been playing.

Lol

"How likely are you to continue playing FFXIV for at least the next 6 months ?"
Everyone: Very Likely

How likely are you to continue playing FFXIV if the subscription fees are reinstated ?
Everyone: ohh... well maybe not...

[Ichi]

I put very likely idc about subscription i just want to buy more retainers.

I also put unlikely to recommend it to a friend yet I checked much better when it asked about other games in the market. That's because my opinion is different from my friends and as much as i enjoy it i know my friends and what they like. Perfect example of how individual different opinions don't correlate to a 'better' game.

Done! I'm impressed at how positive the results are overall. Maybe... Maybe this community isn't as bad as I'd thought?

community is terrible if they are satisfied with this.

community is terrible if they are satisfied with this.

The community isn't saying they're satisfied. It's saying it agrees with the direction the game is heading in, but knows it is in no condition to release.

Looks like you read the poll results almost as much as you've played XIV in the past six months.

[Keftenk]

The community is only bad when they're allowed to speak their mind about anything, i.e. Enter Gifthorse. When you're given a set of questions however with direct answers, you don't get opinionated baseless facts and rants. All you get is results.

This is why this poll seems to be working thus far.
