There's a handful of people spamming about the lab all day long and they are responsible for a large number of these threads - but there are many others like me who have just written once or twice about it.

To be fair, the ones spamming all day are usually replying to threads and not creating them. The poster with the most threads in the list isn't who you'd think, and they are all valid posts IMO.

Final numbers after going through all the links:
173 accounts responsible for 206 threads (not including the 2 duplicate entries)
26 of those posters account for 58 of those threads

And again, to be fair, most of those with multiple threads aren't the whine-y posts although there are a few. :)

I am shocked that you missed my post about the only real problem with the labyrinth. All other concerns pale in comparison.

I have uninstalled PoE, Windows and the Internet and have locked myself in a closest waiting for the day that this gets fixed.

Oh by the way, if you want some math on top of that.

Theres 12 million registered accounts. According to GGG its pretty consistent that only around 1% of players hit maps.

That means that roughly 120,000 players are hitting maps. This would be considered the most active users.

Lets say for one moment that each of those threads were unique users, that means only 200 people posted a complaint. Thats about 0.00167% of 120,000 people who are actively playing.

However, we know that many of those threads are created by the same handful of users, soo in fact it is significantly less than 0.00167%

And by total user standards even less than that. Its a handful of people, stop trying to say it isnt.

These numbers are meaningless.

Going by "registered accounts" is the wrong approach. It doesn't account for people who basically "demo'd" the game, people who made alt accounts, spammers, bots, etc. You might be closer to the mark if you could look at active users, but we don't have definite figures for that, because there is some overlap, and the only charts we can access are on Steam, and those are only useful for identifying trends, not absolute figures.

Further, because you cannot know the actual number of people who like/dislike Lab, and many people on both sides of the issue never visit the forums, you don't get to count them on your side just for convenience.

As for the actual number of people on the forum itself, I see a lot more people who dislike it than the GGG WKs who try to make it sound otherwise. This experience is confirmed in game too. However, this is just as anecdotal as that of the WKs. Turtle has made an effort to make it substantial--quantitative--while the WKs have not.

The pitch has been thrown. They're up to bat. Let's see if any are willing to take a swing.
