While
Chyos pushed him or herself for this recent update. I disagree with developers and these idiotic polls. Developers should work on maybe 2 characters or whatever is within their comfort limit. (If it takes a couple months for an update so be it, as long as the developer can add to the game and stay sane)
The issue I have with polls, is the fact developers lose site of the overall game they were looking to create. A number of storylines and side quests almost never get finished, instead developers are stuck rushing the main story line then spend the remainder of their time trying to clean up loose ends, at some point during this process they get fed up (understandable) and the final game isn't what they really wanted.
From what I've seen this ends up taking a long time, rather then prioritizing what the developer had in mind as he or she goes along. The process is much smoother and the overall final product is better. And while the masses will undoubtably complain over no polling, they can whine all they want but they will still stay loyal and keep playing your game.
That's just how I feel and what I've witnessed from other games.
