Official Item Survey Result Data & More (OISRDM)

Correct me if I'm wrong or ignore it if somebody already brought it up, but aren't the "leave it as it is"-votes left out in this analysis? As their value is simply 0 in every column.

This is the case for my data. Haha, now that I think about it, it would had very little sense to say "the part of those who voted for nothing that also voted for *something* is ..."

Having looked at the data 90% of it could have been autogenerated based on characters preferences.

Proved polling the player base is pretty pointless - better to rely on judgement of the developers/playtesters.

Earlier rebalance patches proved this process could use a lot of the player input. Furthermore, there are seemingly no "playtesters" for cRPG.

I did a little playtesting for one of the patches. Its done on the dev servers. For example, if I remember correctly, the slow down of archery for the upkeep patch was even slower before release and changed due to feedback from playtesters.

I voted to buff thrown, and god knows I hate throwers. My last build was with 12 strength only, no ironflesh, bright blue tunic over mail that draws fuck loads of attention, and riding around on a horse. Yes throwers did love me so much. I still voted to buff them, even after my traumatising experience. I do, well and truly, deserve a cookie.
