When Chris says that lab haters are a minority, how right is he?

The lab is terrible. We know it. Everyone knows it. Most the ppl do it just for the ascend points. Some others do it for enchants. A few more even farm it for lootsplosion at end. But nobody farms lab for the actual lab. Nobody is going omg I love traps and instant deaths I must have moar of that. You can gloss over a problem with rewards and requirements and shiny things but in the end its still a problem and that is leading to players leaving.

Hmm. I never have those problems. Seems like a personal issue. Lab is awesome.

Yeah, well, it's hard to believe anyone can love that fermented herring thingy that smells of sewage and looks like boiled rags but there you go. I have absolutely no surefire way to convince someone liking something that he's wrong if nothing else gets hurt in the process, got nothing solid to stand on in that argument.

Eeenyway, the premise "you like something only if you farm the stuffing out of it" isn't holding, you can't eat cake all the time and there's a bunch of stuff in this game people like but aren't doing because raisins, usually because it's impractical.

I could mitigate the problem of a contaminated sample size. Force a poll answer upon logging into a league for the first time after a big update or change. Then Chris and development team could get a real idea of whether the things they do are of popular acceptance or not. One poll answer per change, per account, not character. This would prevent poll spammers.

They could not dare to face the result imo.
