Time gating is a punishment not reward. The game/update is ready to go and can be released to everyone at the same time. But you are purposely holding back to the lower paying tiers. The higher tier is only "rewarded" because the lower tiers are being punished. It is also quite alienating because playing the game at different times causes a lot of issues with people not being to discuss together. Imagine someone here got the update before anyone else, they can wait until everyone gets the update to avoid spoilers or be a dick by spoiling everything.I personally don't really agree with the "alienating" point, bc it's only logical for me for people that pay more should receive some benefits. I get your reasoning behind it, but I personally don't agree with it, but thats fair. Fact is a time benefit would have the least amount of influx on the game directly, with still having some sort of benefit for the higher paying members. I'm not for content or something behind a higher member wall, that would be stupid, its just about the time aspect of release.
Polls are always a bit critical and have too much influx directly into the game, so I'm not a big fan of those.
Polls are fine as long as they don't affect anything important. For example a poll to vote on what costume a character should wear. The ability to affect something insignificant in the game would be a worthwhile reward for higher tier subscribers.
