Seems a bit misleading to lump together the top 3 (out of 5) categories and claim a large margin. Could just as easily lump together the bottom 3 and say "Overall, more people thought it was average or below and by a large margin." I think based only on responses to the poll, it'd be fair to say the response is mixed.
Thank you, this is really what I've been trying to get at, and maybe I'm just really bad at explaining my opinion but I don't think it's all that controversial. Yesterday, people were saying that there were only a handful of people that were disappointed, but I think the poll today shows that's quite untrue. Yes - people are happy. But I frankly don't believe that when a developer pushes a
final patch, they should be hoping people just say it's "good" and move on. Why not spend the time to address the concerns that'll make more people think it's very good?
Good doesn't mean people are in love with the patch, it implies some sort of mediocre satisfaction, or that people think it's merely "decent". It's not right to lump those with the more positive views, especially ones that suggest there was nothing more that could've been done to make it better. All I want is for people to acknowledge
that there were problems here that weren't addressed. I'm not projecting my opinion on anyone, I think the poll in fact proves otherwise: there were more people than originally thought that weren't completely happy.
If I was a developer and saw this, I would be happy we knocked it out of the park for some people, but I'd be concerned so many people were tempted to only rate the patch as 3/5 or lower. I just feel like there's two mindsets being perceived on this forum right now: one, that the patch was fantastic as is, and two, that it was terrible.
But that's not it at all. I feel like we should all be saying this patch
could have been better and sincerely hope the developers are listening. I don't see the value in dismissing the very clear criticisms of the patch.
Edit: Just as a point of discussion for those looking only in this thread, 29 people now say it is very good and 29 say it is disappointing.
