Polls for future game changes

[Lanadra]

Nope.

And for a lengthier answer:

I think this is a horrible idea and I also think the only reason you want weighted votes is because you think the 'hardcore' 'loyal' fans will be the ones who have played the longest and are likeliest to agree with you, you likely also realize that your preferences are likely to be outnumbered and thus seek to remedy it that way. Ergo, you want a weighted voting system that will preferably produce the results you want in as reliable a way as you can think of.

There's nothing fair or representative about it. I trust Yoshi P and his team to deliver, I don't trust you or anyone else to know better than them. Also, just as an amusing note, in an actual fair voting system.. I am pretty sure one of the first things to go would be Ultimates, probably followed by Savage.

Fair voting means every vote counts for exactly one. My grandmother doesn't get an election vote that counts for four just because she's four times my age, that's not how democracy works.

Bingo. Nailed it in one.

Topics like this, and pretty much all of the threads complaining that "the devs just don't listen to the players!" are all written with the explicit or implicit assumption that "the players" all actually think along the lines of what the topic creator themselves wants. And, yes, it's often the more "hardcore" "old school" players that have that perspective. There's also a reality that if there was an optional vote of some kind, it's pretty likely that the more "hardcore" players are the ones who would respond so pretty much any vote conducted in this manner would be at least biased in that direction.

Let's be real, if the devs really did put out a vote that every single player of the game absolutely had to answer in a fair manner, the more casual players would carry simply because there are vastly, vastly more of them.
