Can we have a poll system in the forums and allow the players to decide what they want, such as styles, base items, bug fixes, marketplace items, etc? This in turn would allow the devs to get this stuff done just by focusing on the issues of bugs and stuff.
Its against ToS for a poll to be started on the Forums. However there was a rare one posted by the Devs probably a year ago at this stage, to help gauge what players wanted to see happen with the game. You must have missed it.
You can go here: https://dgcissuetracker.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11111 Vote on as many bugs as you want. For styles: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/dc...ume-styles-you-would-like-to-see-next.278259/ For accessories: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/dc...-materials-you-would-like-to-see-next.285167/ For base items: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/dc...base-items-you-would-like-to-see-next.164112/
Poll's are a proven slippery slope for any game. Poll's as a rule should only ever be used to gauge user satisfaction and to present possible future options and see how they rate. As soon as you start allowing Player Polls that actually make decisions about the game and its direction, theres no going back. Every single player has their own preferences, and as such, their own agenda behind each of these Polls. Soon enough there'd be changes made that only benefit one camp.
It's a commercial product and not a democracy. If you want to vote then use your money. Basing the game's development on forum polls is just screaming for abuse. Not only is a forum poll easily gamed, it also takes away the direction of development from the professionals and puts it in the hands of players who barely understand what they want let alone what it means to implement it. It also promotes the toxic backlash every time the devs change plans. Forum poll said we want Lanterns but devs made Batman? "this is not what we decided"
There's threads out there with the sole intent of housing people's suggestions. Lorax was kind enough to provide links. Use them lol.
