Anam Charaid

As a card carrying, absolute HATER of PvP I vote to leave it as is. If it becomes more advantageous for someone to attack me...well, that would probably signal my final adieu from FS. Just speaking for myself. 

Sure, why not see who holds all kinds of records and/or positions. Anything to add fun to the game is OK by me. I see nothing negative about this whatsoever. I totally disagree with anyone who says that doing this would bring pressure on the big stam holders. I believe it would be just the opposite and would give the smaller players a chance to see their potential. The game is only a fraction of the size it used to be anyway and we are basically a big group of mostly friends. The way guilds are merging and shrinking now has gotten to the point of there being only a handful of super guilds anyway. Look at the number of participants in guilds not in the top 15 and you'll know what I mean. Show the list and lets get to know each other better and have fun.

Great to see a poll but I fear it's too little, too late. Had this poll run before the release of Seasons with full details or 24 hours after the release I think it's pretty obvious what the results would be. Now you've made so many quick changes to the system in order to cater to the pvp haters and low/no risk pvp'ers I honestly don't know how it will turn out.
The pvp haters were given an opt out so why should they vote against the new system? The low/no risk pvp'ers were given a glorified arena with no xp loss, guaranteed rewards, smasher ticks and dominance medals. Why would they vote against the new system?
I am frustrated to say the least. We asked for details and input on the new system and were denied outright. Players that enjoy all aspects of the game have already left and many of those will never return, regardless of what is done with the new system at this point.
I will hang on for just a bit more but sadly enough, my time here is dependent upon the results of this poll and what is done with them. This is no longer the game I have loved to play for so many years and now that my friends are leaving, the social aspect is fading fast too.

I disagree with this logic. Changes should be in small majority approved steps, not one big stride that turns the community upside down. A revert and reevaluation is exactly what is needed. Only then will the majority of community feelings be known and changes can be made accordingly. Because I may not like PvP doesn't make me a hater. What I hate is some player I do not know think he/she is speaking for me or labeling me if I don't feel the exact same way they do. 

It would be nice If players could check the poll live to see the current results on it already.

I strongly disagree. Players have enough trouble making their minds up on game changes. To be able to follow the poll would only sway some players toward a vote that might not be their true desire. This way everyone can make up their mind with no persuasion.

Why not stop all this ridiculous nonsense that no two players are going to agree 100% on and fix this game to the brilliance it was a few years ago.  Cows keep listening to a select few whiners from a few select guilds (well, just one mainly), and expect the blabberings of those few to be the desire(s) of the entire FS Community.  PvP has sucked for a long time and now sucks worse.  I may not be a PvP'er, but the way it is so screwed up is why I leave it alone.  Now the buffing page is different for no good reason whatsoever and doesn't even fit on the screen entirely, and on and on.  Yes, I know I am making general comments and not being specific, so ignore me and see if I care.  As for the majority of you who know what I mean and do not need it spelled out, please try to get some messages across so the "select" few won't be the only ones the Cows kowtow to (pun intended).  I am bitter and somewat disgusted and may soon chuck the whole thing in and stick to Skyrim and the likes. Sad!
