Community Player Profile Poll Results Are In!

[Dadtallica]

OK, the results are in and I want to thank everyone who voted or shared the poll! I would be happy to do more of these if you all crowd source some more targeted questions.

In no way should this ever be considered a plan for development or a reason for it no matter how many people ever answer.  It’s just nice to inject some new point of views on some very stale old arguments. Plus, what’s been changing now is some great news and good or bad I look forward to whatever progress is made. We spent a long time thinking we were done.

There were 115 total visitors, with 45 submissions for 39% click-through. If I had gotten this kind of results in my customer survey days, I would’ve been a genius! It’s also interesting to see the difference between responses of the people who put their name on it, and the those who chose to remain in the shadows. 

And yes, of course, as will be stated a million times without reading any of this or the results… it’s well known this does not represent everyone who’s ever logged into the game since the dawn of the Internet. If only someone had told me before!  From my research, the best estimation the 45 would probably be at least 12 to 20% of the active Main Arena player base. Just a guess.I would love to get a bigger sample size or target those who only play events. I also added a page showing the progression of the answers and their changes. I was first so you’ll definitely know what I said lol!

I was definitely surprised by some of the results for sure. Love to hear what everybody else thinks. A little more fighter heavy in here than I kind of thought. I think that would even out with more answers. I’m not sure many of the other ones would even out. I think they would progress as they have. Only time will tell. I I thought the win the war group would be a little more heavy in here too.

Enjoy!

Very interesting, Dad, thanks for all the effort you put into this.

Very cool.

I put my name out there so it was known that I was participating but not an active player. Didn't want to be sneaky.

That said I've decided to not to participate in any polls that are not directed at players who are not active.

Thanks Old… If you have ideas for more questions, let me know!

OK, thank you for sure and you are appreciated. But… also I’m calling BS!

There is absolutely no way given how you talk about this game and everything else in your life that you wouldn’t enjoy playing with the rest of us so just knock it off

Get back in there and play and participate and maybe the voice you think you don’t have will become something more relative.

Otherwise, thank you again, but ummmmmm.

Some surprising data, especially about air-to-air, and for other things you'd get an entirely different read from the forum.

Good drills

would love to see a poll in game on some of these. I like the statistics breakdowns. Good job.

Isn't it safe to say that the majority of respondants are active players? Why duplicate this "in game" ? Who would code, monitor and tabulate the results?


Great work Dad! Thanks.

Because it's a very small sample and because it's unofficial.  An in-game poll would be very accurate. An in-game poll ensures that the people who are responding actually play the game.

You could also get some interesting breakdowns. Like time zones, what country in game, what time those people play and a bunch of other useful information. Even what stats they have in game and what they fly and what they do in game


AI would/could tabulate the results.

We got it more people means more answers. Could you please say it several more times?

Nobody knows yet.

huh?

An in-game poll would be useful and reliable. Your poll is interesting but it's not going to be accurate compared to an in-game poll.

I hope to see in-game polls. That would be really interesting.

[Dadtallica]

Yes as has been stated everywhere 100s of time.

Even  in-game poll questions would have to be  considered. I'm pretty sure online games are not run based on democratic votes of what people say or think they want.

It would be good to gauge customer sentiment on certain things, I'd think.

Based upon empirical evidence, even if a dedicated in-game poll were made possible, the results would mimic what's already known...and you would argue with the outcome.

Here’s the glitch, we don’t know that until it’s done and compared.
Clipboard window is a browser and can run a internet based poll. Can run the same setup.

I think the poll is very well done. It’s where the link is placed COULD skew it.

70-80% of players only come here when they need info. So yes a vast number may not even know of the poll, better yet take part in it. It should not be open to non-players to skew it. Several don’t have the best intent.

Not positive, but I think as open based I can probably play around and put in many votes. You’d minimize that in game

It’s very well done setup tho. So kudos to that
