I was wondering some community opinions, so I made a survey here:

Demo version can only take 100 responses. I'll post the results soon.

In a few weeks, I'll post the results. Questions range from PvE to PvP and the new updates. Enjoy!

And the responses:



I found this one to be kind of surprising. I think Anet is way above average.



While most people think they are a fair PvP rewards, most don't want the value of Zaishen Keys to go back up. I think more rare and unique items to be found in the Z-Chest would bump up the price of the keys, which would be good for me, because I sell them.



More uses for Skill Points is really high on the list, which is kind of surprising. I personally wish you could trade in Skill Points and a bit of gold for a consumable you can increase Reputation titles on other characters on your account. Like a Flame of Balthazar, but only good until rank 8.

Maybe something like: 1 skill point + 25 bones + 100g = 500 points.

Trading improvements, Survivor, and Hench skill bars follow, which I think are all possible, given the size of the latest update.

Also, I suppose I should have been more clear that you are able to pick "up to" 3, so you could have left this one blank if you didn't want any of these improvements.



So the community is pretty split on this one. This issue would be impossible for ANet to enforce, so the only real solution would be similar to what they did for people botting the Factions titles. Remove the mechanism, and then improve the rewards elsewhere. Basically, if you /resign before 4 minutes, you get dishonourable. Then, double and triple commander points for people above a certain commander rank, and improve faction and AT rewards. Then, fix the format and exploits and imbalances there.



The split was a success! Hurray!



Zaishen Quests are also a success. Doing the math, if you earn an Elite Tome and sell it for 10k, then your bronze Z-coins are worth just under 10g each, which is also the most profitable thing to do with Z-coins. Of course, if you are able to sell a +20 pack for more than 100k, that's another option, but if you're in it for cash, there are faster ways to make money.



By saying "like to see more changes" I was intending to ask if people who play certain formats are happy where they are right now. Maybe I worded it wrong.
The strongest consensus on this whole survey is that we want more buffs and reworks to useless skills.

Also done. Hopefully this proves interesting, although I hope this isn't presented to just the GWGuru lot.

  • Some of the questions are quite bad, like "which of the following improvements would you like to see?" and being able to tick them doesn't give meaningful information.
  • When making survey, refrain from pre-defined opinions and instead use scale for questions like "do you like the way z-keys were implemented"
  • Avoid ambiguity. "I wish to see changes in GvG" - without knowing what changes the person wants, this information has no value.

Done. Didn't really like all the choices... Like the ones about PvP/PvE skill split. Seems like it was only hardcore black/white choices.

Good idea!

However, if I can make one suggestion as a possible improvement - some of the 'check all statements you agree with' seem a little binary. There are a lot I don't strongly agree with but don't strongly disagree with either.

Also, is the survey protected against ballot-stuffing? Wouldn't put it past some people...

Also done. Bit strange though; you go into detail about certain updates, but leave others completely unmentioned.

Anyhow, looking forward to the results.

Done. Only thing I didn't like what "What would you like Anet to add"

I didn't like any. So I chose 3 at random...

The survey is closed already?

Anyway, I was wondering how you're planning to reach the less "hardcore" people (a.k.a. the people not using the forums), otherwise you'll end up with a pretty screwed view of what the community thinks/wants/needs.
