GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[Adramelk]

I suppose I'm arguing for it as a legitimate enhancement, Nil.

That said, if you are willing to leave the LFG tool in the game, I think that's a nice compromise and would concede global chat.

I think you have to make a choice. Is this going to be classic or not? If the answer is "classic", then make the channels zone only. If the answer "close to classic, but with the pain in the butt stuff fixed", then leave the channels world wide, and put back in the trade recipes so trade skills aren't a stupid click fest, and put back in the dot/buff/debuff messages so we don't sit around with with egg timers, etc. etc.

I'd like to see the "classic, with the pain on the butt stuff fixed" path be taken. While I enjoy playing classic EQ, I don't care to relive all the stupid mistakes that were made in the beginning.

Right now we have this odd mix of some pain items removed, some put back in, and some brand new things never seen before... all in the name of "classic".

Make it "classic", but keep it fun.

global ooc and auction are not fun for gms or developers. apparently, they aren't fun for the majority of the server.

As someone with a statistics background, it's infinitely upsetting that we're using this poll as the end-all tell-all of public opinion. If you really want a legitimate public opinion, which you claim you do

I still do care what people think though!

, you should take a truly random sample from online players and poll them. Not everyone visits these forums, as you've said

Yep. Pretty much. The 15(?)% of the population that uses the forums and the 1% that uses IRC will use it for auction.

So until that's done, this poll is factually 100% bunk.

unless it favors your stance, at which point it's perfectly legitimate.

Notice that most of the posters have 1 post count. Or this is really the first time you have posted on the forums Shewz? Really.? be honest

They are making new accounts to post NO.

It is probably just 2 or 3 people with diff accounts causing the trouble in responses.

Example shewz ^^^

A random sample is more accurate?? The only accurate poll would be one where everyone on the server voted one time. You have no statistical background shewz. You just make stuff up.


It doesn't matter what this poll shows anyway. It is the Developers decision.

[Shewz]

I didn't take a stance, and I stated a fact. This poll is inaccurate.

You're posting wild speculation. I'm not.

If you're trying to convince me that internet polls are not accurate, there's no need.

I am polling people asking for their current opinions. I don't care how you think I should poll people. Most people appreciate being able to be heard and/or vote. They might be more upset with a "random sampling" and this is the very best way of giving everyone the chance to give their opinion.

If I didn't care, I wouldn't have made the poll at all.

Orrrrrr lots of people who never posted before decided to start after there was several broadcast messages sent to the server today since the issue in question is a pretty significant one that motivates people to post when they never did before.

That's what happened with me.
