Lol, if the objective of the poll is to see if people understand something, you can't just say "well 30% of people don't understand, so the poll is flawed." Thats literally what the poll is about. And why does the audience matter, should it only be sent to people who already understand it so it can look artificially better? Make your own poll then thats worded "correctly" and see what happens.
That's not what I said, at all; it's not even a reasonable misinterpretation of what I said. My problem with the methodology is that it's an uncontrolled sampling of people self-selecting from, if I understand harper correctly, 4chan, the dirt patch of the Internet where trolls are grown. I wouldn't trust a 4chan sample for any reason. My problem with the wording of the poll is that it is more specific than the text on the items, and thus doesn't as freely allow someone wearing two/three pieces of %-boost gear to conflate the DT boosts and believe they have more protection than they do - as I spelled out in my OP. Indeed, in your previous post in this thread you corroborated that idea, saying "I wondered if its effects applied everywhere". Finally, I didn't say the poll was flawed - I said that if the poll provided any useful information at all, it suggests that the system of explaining DT has a high error rate, and is flawed.
Come on, man. This is easy stuff.
Am I reading this correctly?
You are, Styg. I've seen the question come up, and answered variations on the theme, again and again. I don't know if it's a pressing concern, especially right after a major update goes live, but there are and have been people posting frustrations about being unable to progress in the game and not realizing their armor isn't protecting them nearly as well as they believe.
