Deleting systems poll UPDATE

[Haste]

How many more players need to voice the opposite opinion to make you consider that what you think the game needs is not what they think the game needs?

Clearly every single player who has voted holds different beliefs about what the game needs than I do, to some extent. The poll is interesting to look at once in a while but I find it far less useful than the actual arguments.

I do not personally buy into the "But some of these are active places!" rhetoric. Activity has come and gone. Systems that are active are usually active due to simple factors like battle zones, ore fields, mission accessibility or system connections. All of these things can be had elsewhere, too.

If we turn out wrong, I am not opposed to reviewing our decisions. But I don't believe in mod design by democracy. We've tried that in various forms and it has yet to deliver.

Of course all I'm posting at the end of the day is a lot of words that boil down to "Trust me bro.". I do not expect people to actually trust me - or anyone on the dev team - purely off of what they're saying. I just expect people to see how the new patch actually looks and judge it then, rather than trying to judge things based on extremely incomplete and heavily subject-to-change information.
