F2P Under-informed about that they can vote in the GC Poll?


InfiniteDragon

Recommended Posts

Look a the current votes, thousands more Members have voted compared to non-members. I can't help but to think that F2P Is not informed about this enough; many F2P don't check the polls or new, and as such they don't find out about this, while members usually know that the news will interest them, so they look and find out.

 

 

 

I think it should maybe, say, be the message of the week for F2P, so many more free players will find out about it.

 

 

 

What do you people think?

Well, if they did what Jagex probably wants them to do and read all of the news that comes out, (encouraging them to want to become members for the new content), they'd probably find out about the poll. (I myself always looked at the news whenever something came out.)

When I was F2P I read every single news update, and now that I'm a member I never pay attention to the polls :lol: It's blatantly obvious how they will turn out anyways, there always seems to be one option miles ahead of the others so it doesn't matter much anyways...

It's not hard to check to see if a new poll is up. ;)

 

But when Jagex made some polls available to F2P players to vote on, they stated that only members will be able to vote on polls that directly affect the game content. And now we see a Guaranteed Poll for the Christmas event that F2P can vote on. :-k

Pretty much what Dragon said.

Because most contents affected only members so why should f2p decide? Now events are for everyone so it made sense f2p should be able to participate similarly to last year's GC poll for haloween. The front page news is there for you to read anyway, because content that doesn't affect you in any way is frequently released doesn't mean you shouldn't be reading news.

Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

The worse is that it's the P2p players who voted for the santa suit. You'd think p2p players would have figured out that there are much better outfits than that... They're ruining our xmas gift 29pagzb.gif

Have you actually seen any of the gifts? who are you to judge that santa suit will definitely be bad?

 

Fact is, a lot of people think that santa suit might go well with santa hat, which is just what the rares market needs.

looks like we're getting santa suits this year. should be lame.

 

 

 

Oh yeah much better than a pet reindeer. A red top, pants, black gloves and boots are all we need right now, cuz we don't have any or at least a similiar item of them at all. Viva la santa suit.

-.- I don't want another suit. That chicken one was pointless.

 

 

 

=D> Nice smiley. We should have one like that.

 

 

 

 

 

Also I believe f2p should notice it or they just can't find it. Most f2p's I know are in a library and just rush straight to game play due to limited time. :|

yea this poll results are cxonfusing me. why wouldnt the f2p voters all go for the pet?

 

 

 

maybe they have a santa hat and want the price to sky rocket \'. but i really wish i could choose more than 1 item i really want a santa suit, pet raindeer, and icicle sword lol. they would be pretty cool together if u wear them all :thumbsup:

I'll bet all of you 30k that 95% of the voters voted for santa suit because they think it'll come with a santa hat...

 

 

 

If santa suit wins, I want the pet to be the members-only gift, like they did with the tree and the reindeer hat.

 

 

 

Eugh, you're probably right.

 

 

 

Damn them!

I really could care less what the rares market needs. I'm almost 100% sure that it will be like all the other clothes; nearly nobody will use them when it isn't Christmas time, as opposed to the pet....

I agree, I'm F2P and I didn't even notice the poll at first. Most f2pers don't even look at the polls because they're almost exclusively for members. As a result, we don't notice when we're allowed to vote. I think it would be good if Jagex put more emphasis on the polls.

 

 

 

Pet reindeer ftw, santa suit ftl

Were you too lazy to read 3 posts above or too stupid to comprehend it?

It's better that they don't know. They'll all vote for the reindeer anyway. Same reason we got a hood for halloween. :shame:

 

 

 

Note: I don't like most of the rewards anyway.

I'd much rather have the Reindeer than the Santa Suit, and most F2P so far have voted for the Icicle Sword, which I'd also like more than the Santa Suit.
