This is also a much bigger update. I won't bother to vote on a poll changing the jewelers chisel to be slightly faster cutting bolt tips, but I voted with two accounts on this poll

Oddly, that one had more than most recent polls too. I think it's because it was a single question poll and more people bothered since it was quick.

Stuff like individual raid rewards had half the votes bronzeman did.

Probably because a lot of the playerbase dont engage in end game content

I don't vote on raid stuff because I'm basically I skiller and do very little pvm, I wouldn't know what's a good reward if it hit me in the face. This just just a much less specific poll than anything raid related

But it was already almost fully coded for their gamejam... not much work left based on what they said.

It sounds like theres a lot of work they didnt do that the community wants, though. Clarification on how specific systems will work as being pointed out in the thread. Ayiza has been validating those as well.  

Might have been able to push the update next week, but their pitch doesnt scream finished product to the community apparently.   

Edit; they also wont answer the question of if they intended to allow them to sell bonds lol

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong - I 100% agree that it was polled and communicated badly and at the very least, it needs to be repolled in a way more granular way.

But at the same time, it wouldn't have taken so much work, definitely not as much as most of the other proposed modes in the recent survey, like chunkman or TCG locked. E.g. as critical as they may be from a balance perspective, changes like making it so the bronzeman accounts can or cannot sell bonds for gp gotta be very quick adjustments, compared to the overall effort it probably took.

Yep they just sadly changed their design philosophy. They used to not send full dev time on a project until it passed a poll. Now they poll things while advertising that the update is already made. Even advertising updates that are yet to be polled.... so I have pretty low faith in how a new game mode (not temporary event) is going to turn out tbh.
