Title: Re: Yey! Email Survey... Post by: Count Nerfedalot on July 22, 2008, 03:45:16 AM I always wonder why they can't pull this info out of the DB. Because almost every single question is asking for the customer's opinion/feelings rather than for statistical facts? It doesn't matter if the DB's statistics look good if the customer thinks it stinks. Or vice versa for that matter! LOL Title: Re: Yey! Email Survey... Post by: CharlieMopps on July 27, 2008, 09:02:04 AM He means for questions like "What level are you" and "How much time do you spend playing" etc...
And the reason is... because they suck at being DB admins. The people in charge of making the game fun have absolutely no contact with those that actually operate it. Hence the reason this game is doing so terribly. |
