Should SE implement a way to poll the playerbase?

[Kabooa]

I personally think that healing experience in other MMOs is irrelevant when it comes to providing feedback for the way healers function in this game. I don’t play other MMOs, but based on what I’ve read.

That you can say this should be example enough.

You have no experience in those other games. Therefore you cannot say whether or not that experience is valid.

And just like that, you understand why we shouldn't have qualifications for feedback. Let the feedback speak for itself, no need to pin a badge with "Qualified" on it.

Snark aside.

I disagree that your feedback doesn't matter. I've personally been apart of several discussions in this forum that, coincidentally or not, have seen direct change as a result.

Now again - you can chalk that up to coincidence, as one of the few things you never want to do as a developer is credit a singular person or group of people for a change being made. That's a horrible way to inflate egos and engender expectations, but I'll point out some examples.

Camie's letter regarding crafting, and the megaletter in the Hand section, where a majority of the points were nearly one for one addressed with Ishgard.

The direction of Monk's class fantasy moving towards the Blitz system. Its implementation not withstanding, as that can be rather divisive.

Nearly every single one of my EW class wants has shown up in the PVP section of the game. Tank Superstates, Ranged cast time sniper shots, Seraph Strike on White mage, to name a few.

They are nothing if not cruel in their generosity.
