Truth is that they lost their personal battle (they were fighting against windmills, and we were poking them in their cage with a stick just for kicks), let's just sit down, relax and wait for our two weeks, we should be used to this by now

Basically, it was just an attempt to give the whiners some cover to complain about the same old things.

If everyone put 90 and 100 I'm pretty sure you'd see the poll very valid.

If you return to furbs first post and read all the words this time, despite him being your favourite hate object, please realize that the poll is setup to be matched against the upcoming poll (maybe a week after next patch) to see where we're heading.

56.3321 is the average view of the forum visitors - probably the customers who care alot of this product despite being a yes/no sayer as so many here want to label eachothers. If the next poll ends up below this Luthier must realize he prioritized the wrong shortages (such as trains or rare ships) and need to read-up on when the customers are expecting.

If the next poll gives higher, well then he knows he's running his team spot on (this is what I think will happen as Luthier has made some hard decisions lately such as the "sound-issue").

This is a very valuable process for Luthier and company to read how well they succeed.

Klem, sorry for the quote but I do find him very entertaining and will not use the ignore function just yet.

No, the poll is pointless no matter what the results are. Let's assume the numbers are all over 90. What does that mean? Does it mean the devs should stop trying to improve it? Does it mean they should ignore any bug that are found? Of course not. No matter what the results of the poll the devs will continue to improve the game. The poll is only useful for giving cover to the whiners.

Luckily you don't have to have anything to do with it then.The poll was not compulsory, so you could have just ignored it, as you don't see it as important or relevant. And luckily the mods have cottoned on to you now ,and moved your posts here.
Better for everyone concerned I think. You could choose to become a more valued member of the forum, by posting in some of the other threads, helping new people out, for example , or even post some screen shots?
Are you flying online or offline? If online, which servers do you like? If offline, which campaign are you flying, and how is it going?
You get the idea...
( I know I'm probably wasting my time, but still...)

Sorry, but this is utterly absurd. The dev team probably has a list of known bugs broken down by functionality (graphics, sound, FM, etc). They also have a list of features that are not currently functioning (not bugs, but stuff they haven't coded yet). Priorities are based on those lists. A poll on what people think of the games does absolutely nothing to help determine dev priorities.

I'd rather be a valued member by pointing out useless, whiny, BS.

[JG52Uther]

The mods think otherwise David, thats why all your posts end up here!
Ah well I tried.
Have a nice life

There are plenty of my posts that haven't been moved here. And plenty of other people have posts moved here. Not sure what you were trying other than more BS?

Bye david.
