If it wasn't labeled "good", would you argue 3 out of 5 is good?lol, it takes some real mental gymnastics to argue 'good' doesn't mean 'good'.

The problem is that the responses crafted by the maker were biased (no offence intended). By having "Good" as the middle option, people might interpret that as neutral, or take it at face value, which brings in the problem of having more positive options than negative. This causes inconsistent reponses (what does "good" mean?), so it's hard to tell. But given that this might be the final patch you would have thought that the devs would have tried to go out with a bang, and you'd expect the results to be tilted towards positive responses.Just saw the poll. Those results are worse than they look, seeing as 'good' is the middle-ground and disappointing has the most votes.
This baffles me as well. We literally just got an absurd trade yield civ, from Iberia no less!(I don't get the cheering about the absurd and unnecessary yields for Spanish trade routes, but whatever)

This leads me to my conspiracy theory that it wasn't as comprehensive as it could have been because it's not expected to be the final update (cue suspenseful music). We'll see, I guess. No real evidence either way, all just speculation at this point.
I think these poll results are not that hard to read - pointless to argue about their interpretation.
I'll only speak for myself: There was the hope that this is a big wrap-up patch that solves at least some of the issues (the longstanding ones and the ones that have opened up during NFP):
Yeah I probably should have made the "good" option OK or something. At the moment we have 38% who voted it Outstanding or Very Good and 37% who voted it Disappointing or Poor. I made the poll because there were what seemed to be a small number of very vocal people in here who were totally slating the patch, it seems only 3% agree with that view. Disappointing is perhaps because of skewed expectations based on the debate here and the fact people have been debating it in depth. Certainly the reaction outside CivFanatics seems to be much more positive than on here.The problem is that the responses crafted by the maker were biased (no offence intended).

Does anyone of you have bugs with river labels, floods and dams not working or placeable in TSL Huge Earth?
I tried other maps and it works fine.
you tried the other earth maps by Firaxis and they have river labels ?
AI seems to use heroes more efficiently now. I tried to play as Khmer, my neighbor Georgia declared war on me and Mulan one-shot every military unit that was not inside a city in only a few rounds. Never seen such an aggressive Mulan hero before. All those fancy holy sites did not help me after all, I would have had to build more units. My usual mistakes.
Part of the problem is also how debate shapes the perception of views. I don't know how I'm viewed on here, but I was disappointed with the patch. I was expecting it to be the final polish, and so to have civs like Scotland that have basically non-bonuses was disappointing, a feeling compounded by the fact that they'd spent time buffing civs that didn't really need it (even in my strictly amateur view) like Korea. As a patch on its own, it's fine or even good. With thr free maps and units, I'd normally be very happy about it. As a farewell patch that might leave Civ VI in its final state, though? Not so much, and I can understand why some are upset. Add to that the ganging up and refusal on the part of some to recognise the shortcomings in the discussions and it makes me feel like I need to make a stand on certain issues, which portrays me as being more negative than I really am.
