I think your suggestions for the survey in terms of questions are [i]brilliant.[/i]
But notifying the entire player base that this surveying is going on is potentially a bad idea.
One of the challenges of measuring any thing is that the act of measuring it [i]disturbs[/i] it and can prevent you from seeing what your looking for.
One of the biggest problems Bungie has with this player base is that everyone wants something different, and the demands we make are often contradictory.
So Bungie needs to figure out who are the major factions, what do they want, and which ones do they need to listen to, and which ones they can tune out.
And those selective surveys may be a part of that effort, and the whole player base being brought into this may prevent them from talking to the part of the player base they want to assess on a clear channel.
Agreed.
One of the other oddities of this game is that you have people who are “negatively invested”. They’ll show online to -blam!-, complain, and trash talk..,,
....but they don’t play, and have no interest in improving the game. Just raging and getting attention for it.
This is a potential way to cut through that noise and hear from those still invested in the game in a constructive manner.
