A: we have a thread that ppl already are stating their opinion
B: what do you plan on doing with this poll?
C: its now midnight CDT not many will see it and post in your poll except the folks posting complaints mostly and a few folks like me who are waiting to see how things work out over the next few weeks
D: if your planning on running to HT with a poll showing most ppl wanting the MA changed back....wont work.

The reason it wont there is no wy of knowing if EVERYBODy voted. That alone would invalidated it. Also as stated by pyro this change is going to stay. At least for a while, long enough for HTC to get hard data to make any decision to make another change.
I dont know all the variables they are using but HT doesnt make changes like this a whim or to appease just 1 small group of ppl despite what "some" may think. He runs HTC as a bussiness...as he should. you can run polls and demand all ya want. I seriously doubt he will change the MA back.
ALOT of ppl like it. and like when AH2 came out ALOt of ppl who dont like it will learn to like it. and new ppl will join up. some will leave but you cant run a bussiness and make sweeping changes becouse a "few" want em.
they will add some stuff, tweak some stuff, remove some stuff and balance the game as best they can as soon as they can so that the MAJORITY of players will enjoy the game


But ill check out your poll anyway

FYI very few are following pyros directive to do just that and not start new threads regarding the arena changes......they wont listen to joos either ...just saying nothing personal but... as a group we have issues with authority, following directions and doing exactly the oposit of what we be told:huh



BTW
I like the changes!!!

EDIT: the options on your poll arent enough, to me its skewered to reflect your own agenda. I would like to see an option to keep the current changes.
so read my 1st post, poll wont do no good

I dont think we need any kind of poll.....the fact that less then 300 players are on at 1:00 Am EST when there are usual 500-600 is proof enough people are unhappy....

Dont get me wrong I like the additions and think the solo cowboys will find new life in EW arena but sheesh a early war and late war arena is plenty! We sure as hell dont need 4 arenas....

I can't help it.  I feel so proud to have someone actually blame me for the downfall of AH.  I finally feel like I've made something of myself after all these years.

Just think hub.  If you'd have hung in there a couple more weeks, it could have been you taking the blame.  I just stepped into the void left by your departure.

I'm a shamless opportunist :)

By the way, I like the changes.


Oh, and I thought since the usual meaning of a poll -- a survey of opinion -- has little to do with selecting from a list of biased statements, maybe Cav was thinking of one of the alternate meanings.

Poll (n) -- secondary definitions

3.The head, especially the top of the head where hair grows

4. The blunt or broad end of a tool such as a hammer or ax.

Does that help understand what's going on?

Post by: TexMurphy on September 15, 2006, 08:09:15 AM
Why not include the current setting as an option if you wana have a serious poll.

Might as well drop this thread and that poll since its not objective and will not provide a result that displays what the community really wants due to lack of serious options.

Edit: Yes I do like the new settings and think that is the way the game should be set up.

you should have locked the thread if you didn't want posts.  or perhaps realized that it didn't matter if people posted in your thread before telling them not to knowing full well they would.

so we are agreed?  

the changes are great.

A bitter person?  What the hell are you talking about...Get your head out of your *** and actually read the choices....EW/MW/LW only (CURRENT)....Old MA, and combo of EW/MW/LW + MA....What else could you possibly add since these have been the three arenas  of discussion in the nearly 900 posts on the topic....

I dont care if this poll influences HTC...I just wanted to see where the community stands...  Yes, I voted in favor of the combo - EW/MW/LW + old MA...  I dont see how im throwing this fit that some of you have manifested in your minds though...I dont care...Read some of my other posts.  I say if a poll is taken, and this is what most people agree with, then I will roll with it...

And on another note...  A lot of you guys are real jerks...Real immature...  I could have given this poll to a class of freshmen high school students...5th graders...pre schoolers, and I would have had more people just simply vote and follow the rules...Flame me all you want, but your the one who looks like a complete idiot...

welll admitedly it isn't like one of the old beetle "polls" where he would ask...  "Do you think guns should be freely handed out in prisons, insane asylums  and pre schools"   Or... Do you think that most guns should be restricted.

He would then go on to say (often months later) that his "poll" showed that most Americans felt that most guns should be restricted.

The only thing wrong with your poll is that you have an agenda and you are running the results.

Agenda??????????????????  DID YOU NOT READ THE POLL?  There is an option for the three set ups most openly discussed in the threads the past couple days...There is no bias to any of the responses...What is it that makes you think there is?

I am running the results?  Hey laz...I told you I was in favor of getting the old MA back one way or another...Whether it is a combo of the new and old, or just bringing back the old...Right now the voters prefer keeping the set up as is...But your right laz...Im running the results...Maybe take a look at the results before you make a head up your *** acquisition...

Cav,

No poll conducted in this way means anything at all as only those motivated to participate do so and that massively and unpredicably skews the results.  That is why the polls reported in studies are always done blind, to minimize the voluntary participation skew.
