The poll really does not matter........the Final poll will be in the drop of players (and Teams from those that have multiple Teams..which is already occuring) or still has the same amount of players. I tried (2 seasons of Beta) and my OPINION is that even having a basis of knowledge from this present game, Beta will Not encourage or keep new users (too time consuming and too many bs clicks in a format that makes little sense). Nor do I believe that WIS will suddenly and Magically make an effort to promote the game, other than the usual free game act they have failed miserably with for years but like fools continue to do what has proven to fail over and over again.
I wish those that enjoy the Beta good will and hope it meets their expectations. It doesn't meet mine.
That's the part that makes me laugh is now they want to market? They say the old game was not cutting it and neglect to mention poor marketing efforts, but you want to sell this new product as a winner, so now you're going to market. They will justify a successful update (assuming it is successful) simply by stating new users when in reality it's really going to be attributed to what they should have been doing for many years now.
One of the best draws for me was the fact that I could get on and spend very little time on daily tasks. If I was bored, I can go explore the stats, distros, forums. Now there goal is to have you spend more time in the game, so you can feel more involved or whatever. I think there are some people who will enjoy that, but I don't think the average user will be into it, especially new users who will have to learn it.
