I’ll use myself as an example: I have older model phone. It has stopped getting updates for its OS. I am UNABLE to use discord on my phone anymore and same goes for the forums. Thankfully I have access to my desktop to be able to access the forums. Not everyone is so lucky.
Saying that players across ALL platforms should have to use the forums to have any kind of say is absolutely asinine.
Simple. Require them to play a couple games per week on whatever system they are playing on. Better yet: require them to have at least 50 seasonal score for the poll to pop up. This solves multiple issues in one go:
less likely of smurf accounts made for voting
players that don’t play much (and therefore don’t know what is going on) don’t sway issues.
Saying that players have to seek out a whole different page to have a voice has time and again shown that a much smaller percentage of the playerbase is reached, which is the exact opposite of the point for polls.
This is the sense of an forum, discord channels whatever. Its common practise. And all consoles can surf in the internet.
And people need a phone for the most basic things nowadays, at least in more or less civilized nations. If you can afford playing on a X Box, you can afford a phone otherwise you should consider your priorities. And broken phones are no excuse because this is only temporary.
Why making a system if you can just stick to the current system?
Can do on forum as well so this is no excuse.
Same as before.
At this point, if people are getting so lazy or that mentally challenged to find and repeatly use a internet website/ forum, they have other issues. You dont even need to make a seperate account.
All you need to do is
google Enlisted Forum or Enlisted and search on the website (or like I want, click on a link of the news notes)
log in
write a comment or create a new topic
Im getting tired of considering lazy people. Is it that hard to ask for a basic level of incentive and internet knowlegde? And if they are not ready to to such BASIC things, then they seem to not care about getting their feedback heard. Nor should I, you, the CIA, the other users or let alone the devs care for them.
Well. The devs dont make better decisions anyway so I cant see how this will make anything worse.
People will alwqys abuse things and they do it with this system as well.
Devs should only listen testers and maybe some elite players like majprmcdonalds. Most of the gamers are just mindless teenagers or nerds. A lots of bad decision taken due to devs listened people
Testers and elite players may also have their biases, to the point that seriously considering their… desires may end up removing interest of new players coming in, possibly making enlisted a more niche game.
But yes. At the very least, they could categorize the various… feedback from the different parts of community. Some may (and possibly should) have more sway than others.
