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.

DUST 514 is like a Stripper I keep throwing Money at it Hopefully 1 Day it will give me the Ride of my Life

BAMM HAVOC Carbon 7 Iron Oxide. 359	Posted - 2014.04.29 22:51:00 - [1] - Quote This is a link to a poll on polljunkie.com Facts and Figures for Dust514 I am trying to gather the hard facts and figures correlating to game play and isk and the relation between the two. I was unsuccessful in my efforts asking CCP for help with this matter, I was shoved from pillar to post for about a week until I sent a direct email to CCP FoxFour to help clear the matter once and for all, a very helpful guy once you stop calling him CCP SoxFour. Anyway the long and the short of it was that there is a lock down on the figures I am looking for due to that itchy blanket of an N.D.A. It is a 10 question poll with multi choice answers and I thank you all in advance for your efforts. o7 DUST 514 is like a Stripper I keep throwing Money at it Hopefully 1 Day it will give me the Ride of my Life

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. I seem to have misread your previous statement, my bad dude o\ , lol thanks for the you tube channel shout there, glad to see at least someone enjoys them... much love sent your way. it might not be clear now but these are the figures I need for another video I am planning and it will make sense then DUST 514 is like a Stripper I keep throwing Money at it Hopefully 1 Day it will give me the Ride of my Life

DO YOU RAGE OR PLAY GOOD SPORTY GG?" Ok i'll bite, just this once.... these questions are worth while, and if you cant figure out what im planning to use these stats for then I pity you sir . o7 DUST 514 is like a Stripper I keep throwing Money at it Hopefully 1 Day it will give me the Ride of my Life
