Why Isn't the S4 Gear Poll Restricted to One Vote per Bnet Account?

Community General Discussion

The integrity of this poll is completely gone now and any result will have a cloud hanging over it. Polls intended to directly influence the game should never be used for actual decision making unless they’re restricted to one vote per WoW-subbed Bnet.

So you’re saying it’s acceptable for one person to cast 400 votes?

There is only one thing that determines what is acceptable around here and it isn’t me…

Every poll they have ever run was able to be voted on multiple times by one account.

Nonsense, people will be quoting these results like King Varian came out of the ether and carved it into the walls of SW.

people playing multiple classes should vote for each, but making players vote is not how the game should be developed.

this is what the yellow-text council should’ve been for…

There is no use for yellow-text council.

Surely, they can see the actual vote per bnet account, right? They wouldn’t use results skewed by thousands of alts… right?

what if I wanted to vote for all of the classes I play?

We had the same issue with the mount poll. And there are apparently people getting together to use said alts to spam vote for the worst set bonuses just to screw over others.

You can. They’re all separate votes.

I know, I did :slight_smile:

It was a rhetorical question to get others to question why more than one vote per bnet would be acceptable behavior in this specific poll vote .

In other polls not so much, but this one yes one should get to vote for the classes they play.

But with 1 vote per bnet that would still be allowed.

Its 1 vote per poll that people are asking for. Since you can vote in every single poll with every single alt. You could vote 30+ times in every single spec’s poll.

It should be 1 vote per acct per poll.

18

Yes, they can.

19

But you don’t need more than one character to vote for all of the classes and tier sets.

and this made enough sense you hit the send button?

I have 5 alts representing 5 different classes.

I would need to vote 5x from this one bnet to vote for all the ones I played.

How you going to vote 1x from a bnet but still vote 5x to cover your alts?
