FL Survey 2022

[Pollux]

some good points in here but tbh dont care i want v2d

You can't, the staff team tells us we don't want it

The staff team says no.
But the developers force things through.

Looks like we're at a Mexican standoff here.
Who wins?

No one wins if the playerbase dosen't get what they want. They simply move on. Refers to the current "0 of 50" server status. We're at the exact same position as 2 months ago. Community wants one thing, staff/Dev says no. And the current status is the result.

The entire economy update happened because of the last survey. You guys overwhelmingly voted (out of 104 votes, there were only 8 people against it) for some kind of player-run economy so we did it. We wiped suggestions and started again because you all voted for it. We reworked contraband and many other features because we saw you guys wanted them improved in the survey. Just because what you wanted did not happen, doesn't mean we don't listen to the community as we clearly have. The majority of people who has responded on the survey also appear to agree that the development team have done a good job in prioritising what the community needs. FL has a massive issue with vocal minorities, the reason we do surveys is to figure out what people really want and avoid falling into the trap of listening to a select few who end up never joining - like what we saw the last few times V2D was attempted. It's very interesting listening to those vocal in this thread and looking at the survey, as they often contradict each other quite a bit especially if we only look at active players (above 20 hours played in the past two years). It's somewhat disappointing to see people (especially those who literally haven't played in many years) use the current situation as an excuse to push their own personal views to "fix everything", even when their personal views are completely opposite to what the majority of people seem to want.

Many people have also been really focused on the map when it means literally nothing, we've swapped map constantly for the past two years and it's likely hurt us a lot more than it has helped. I don't think we've gone a month since we started swapping without people trying to petition for us to swap yet again, the biggest regret many of us likely have is even showing we're open to swapping if people are vocal enough.

I suppose my point is just for people to wait for the survey to finish and our next update post deciding on the direction we're going in. The survey will be what we use to decide that, not people being vocal on this thread about their personal views - you have the survey for that.
