Your questions are pretty dumb. For example: I alternate between losing 0 and losing over a million ISK per match, so asking me how much I lose per match really doesn't make much sense at all. I'll earn 500k running uplinks when I need money, but earn 150k running around with a plasma cannon for kicks. Again, asking how much I make "each match" doesn't really mean much.

Also, asking about both win rate and loss rate? Why? It's a binary condition...

these questions are very basic and are directed at the average DUST514 merc and not in most cases the experienced high SP'd merc earning millions, im trying to gauge these figures for a video I have planned and if I make it to complex it will make the end result fuzzy and confuse people, hence the yes no binary.... there is a method to my madness sir I promise . Lol

There are still too many methodological issues for the survey's results to have any merit GÇô even at a casual level.

You make too many assumptions by the way you phrase the questions, and then compound the problem with the options you give for answers.

Its an interesting topic, and I'm sure we'd all like to see how it pans out, but the information has to be at least semi-accurate to further the discussion.

agreed, there is no malice in these questions are simple and to the point, so there is no confusion from 1 to the other, I just need the raw data and these answers will provide the data I need

There IS confusion b/c of the assumptions you've built into the questions and the way you've structured the answer options. No one here is accusing you of malice, I'm just saying that the survey in its current form won't provide you with accurate data. Its good effort and interesting topic, but it just won't yield the results you're hoping for. Like your videos BTW. Keep'em coming. This forum signature is OP.
