Petitions don't tend to do well when it comes to retention, because they don't encourage as much actual discussion, and the poll results themselves are often wrecked by trolls who will vote against the OP just because they can. I mean, the majority of the people on the forums seem to be okay with allowing ascension for Year 1 gear, yet most of the voting polls on here show the reverse. (I like to think it's because people who disagree with me like to [i]vote[/i] against me, but when it comes time for them to actually [i]counter[/i] my point of view, they don't actually have a solid argument to present! XD)
