And that's why I challenge DICE to poll their community through Battlelog. they should easily be able to make it so that a player has to answer the poll before they can enter a server. Basically, how do you solve the problem of poor sampling on forums? Easy - poll EVERYONE.
One question at a time would stay up for 1 week. They could poll on things like 3D spotting, suppression(trying to find out if people hate it in general, just hate the blurring, or just hate the random deviation), random deviation, recoil. All they have to do is put a little thought into the poll choices. Which means - don't make polls like:
What are you looking forward to?
Armored Kill
Close Quarters
The next patch
Because obviously, if there are bugs or imbalances that need to be fixed, people are going to say the patch....
sounds good in theroy but I imagine most people dont care and will select A everytime and hit enter.
also of course what we play(telemtry) doesnt = what we want. I play more than few rounds of stuff I dont necessarily love, because freinds are playing and I would rather squad up than lone wolf
I also didnt like how when they said only % of kills were USAS+FRAG and he didnt provide OTHER popular combos to put them in scale.
for all we know the next closest weapon combo was half as popular
