customer satisfaction poll

Many members are patient enough to realise that developers are often put under pressure by publishers to release something incomplete to keep the project funded.

Many members remember how long it took the first game to mold into a gem, and can see the potential and progress already made with this sim.

Many members are also sick of the constant, public requests for contact from the devs and claims of "other devs keep in contact" when that is total rubbish. ROF doesn't have the contact, FSX never had the contact, even when ACES was still running.

Now do please either PM the devs with your requests, or be quiet.

sorry i didn't read your post past this bit; No simpleton

If you want to insult me trying being smarter or at least show some wit.

I don't care about update posts, i only care about patches, fixes & change logs.

A general post saying we are working on this & that is meaningless. When developers give timetables they only slide, just the nature of the game, and this only provokes complaints.

So i voted no.. Luthier has said if he is on the forums answering questions and posting updates then he is not working on fixes. So lets assume he is working hard, and by the snippets has has posted he has only reaffirmed that.

I see no purpose for regular updates to appease the rabble on these forums, as they clearly don't appease the said rabble.

Tommy, did you mean this....

Rabble = "complaints from paying customers , that i just dont happen to agree with, but are of course allowed to express their views as long as they comply with forum rules"

No i meant:

Rabble = a disorderly crowd; mob

I agree with a lot the rabble's basic sentiments.. i just get tired of many of them expressing the same sentiment over and over again in every thread, effectively spamming the forums and derailing any other discussion.

it is surprising how some people (or shall I say, the ones that don't care for updates, god knows why) bend things to their likings.

I have said REGULAR, not WEEKLY, you're the ones obsessed with the weekly thing. The frequency doesn't matter, as long as there's a regular, reasonable update on how things are going, if you don't understand technical jargon, tough, just make an effort or join the group of satisfied people in terms of "hey, these guys know what they're doing, I'll support them as long as it takes in order for them to deliver the best sim ever".

Is it really so very hard to understand? I'm starting to believe that some of the people who are questioning this poll are just doing it for the sake of argument.

Truth is that some of you just come in and start de-constructing the meaning of this poll, without bothering to actually read the lot and looking for hidden agendas and "hey I'm not that stupid, this poll is a hoax". As I said before, you're not happy/have a beef with me/thought of better ideas? Post your own poll.

My intent, AGAIN, was to give an official relevance, with some numbers to support our feelings, to a situation that has become a matter of far too much debate, in the hope that the dev gods will look at it and think "hey, maybe these guys aren't all trolls, maybe we need to reconsider our choices in terms of communication". Again, as a professional, it won't do them no harm to behave professionally, the impression they give with this attitude is of total disrespect for the customer and fan base.

Come on Sternjaeger II, I have searched for your name and there are 152 of you currently registered on this board, stop skewing the poll! Why would anyone want an update!!!

[robtek]

The question is: why wouldn't anyone like a update?

Answer : everybody would like a update.

I could have told you that without any poll!

Does everybody need a update?

No! Only a quite loud minority seems to be unable to endure the waiting time.

some people (or shall I say, most of the people that voted in this post?), probably don't care too much for posting, arguing and fighting, all they care for is... a regular and adequate update.

We were given the option to use polls, we are doing it. Post a poll yourself (possibly a serious one, unlike some other trolls recently did) and I'll be happy to vote and express my opinion.

Is it so very hard to understand?

[bongodriver]

Regular= constant frequency.....this could mean once every year and it would be regular, by this token the more than once a month we seem to be getting is by definition better than 'regular'.....is it not?

want < need.....need is greater than want, we all 'want', we don't need.

these are facts so please don't go down the 'you studid fanboi troll' route in response, I am not here for the argument, these are just the points that make me stand firm by my oppinions on this topic.
