Xugos Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SSNWSDD Should take 40 seconds to complete on a 56k connection. Put the question to rest once and for all regarding whether or not the community is satisfied with SW:TOR, Bioware's customer support, FPS performance, and the game-overall. I'll edit this post with the survey's results soon. The survey just has a few quick questions asking you to rate a few fundamental pillars of SW:TOR and Bioware's service pertaining to it. With some concrete data, we can finally use some real information while discussing these things on the forum. The data collection process is not complete yet, but thus far the repsonses are overwhelmingly unanimous. Unanimous for which verdict? I'll reveal that in 4 minutes. Feel free to elaborate on your responses in this thread - and for the love of God, let's not begin a flame war.

Xugos Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 ~45 participants so far, I think I'll post results when we're at ~205 for the sake of statistical convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xugos Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) When can we see the results Well, surprisingly, tons of people are participating, and I'm already at 94 participants. I'll post it at approximately 205 participants, but since so many people are taking it, I'll post them in 5 minutes and see how many we get. My estimate is ~1000 respondents.

imscared Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I don't understand your methodology, Xugos. You've made it vehemently clear on both these forums and the WoW forums that the game is a cesspool of Star Wars fanboyism, what are you out to prove? That angry customers are more vocal than customers who enjoy themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediMasterRyanW Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I responded. To prevent people from accusing you of making up stats, I'd recommend just putting up screenshots of the results. Not trying to help you make a case, just want to get all the immature attacking out of the way first so we can constructively discuss the results.

Rynra Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I responded among the first people, but just to put my name to it. Rolling with the 6 month plan. I have high hopes for the game, whenever im not reading the general forum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink_Saber Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm trying to collect data to see how the community actually feels. The forums are an accurate sample size of the community. I'd argue that. I wouldn't put too much stock in the population here representing anything about the general playerbase. The people who hang out on forums and the people in-game are very different types of people. But you should get a decent sample of forumgoers. Beyond that, I wouldn't read into it too much.

The people who hang out on forums and the people in-game are very different types of people. But you should get a decent sample of forumgoers. Beyond that, I wouldn't read into it too much. The people who regularly post on the forums are a different breed from those who regularly play. The ones who regularly VIEW the forums, however, are not. When fans of this game are at work/school/outside and unable to play, they generally gravitate towards that game's respective forums to pass some time.

Xarry Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm trying to collect data to see how the community actually feels. The forums are an accurate sample size of the community. Everyone knows the forums are full of whiners and complainers, and no way do they even come close to the size of the community swtor has. 99% of the community is busy playing the game, the other 1% of the community are here QQ'ing.

JediMasterRyanW Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Comments vs viewership. Comments might represent the negative portion of the community, but the viewership does not. Comments and surveys both would fall under the same category of participation, which lurkers rarely do. It is true though that individual people cannot make up for their lack of numbers with volume, unless they have 10 surveymonkey accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xugos Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Care to tell me where you got those statistics? Fabricated, obviously. Logically, those statistics don't make sense, therefore that is the only viable conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
