I don’t know if OP does math but you clearly don’t do statistics. Elections are regularly, accurately predicted with a sample size of 1500 people to represent a population of 100 million voters in the U.S. There are things wrong with using the bnet forum as a representative sample but being too small of a sample isn’t one of them.

    It has [i]nothing to do[/i] with who knows statistics. I posed a question. Do [b][i][u]you let less than 1% Dictate how something works?[/u][/i][/b] Its one thing if bungie makes the decision themselves...its their game. But less than 1% of the community gets to make the calls when it comes to nerfs, buffs etc? Jesus lord almighty. [b][i][u]read what is being said.[/u][/i][/b]

  • I did. You specifically challenged OPs math because of the sample size he was using. You brought your misunderstanding of how sampling works to the conversation. I’m just pointing out that you don’t know what you’re talking about. As I said, the bnet forums are not a good representation of the total active player population or potential customer base but not because the sample size is too small. The main problem is that we self select and we’re all outliers. There are no normals here. Normals do not spend time on video game discussion boards arguing over game mechanics. They play games. If they enjoy them they keep playing. If they don’t, they play something else. They don’t get emotionally invested, the don’t go online to rage against the company or the game. They just move on. We don’t. Hell we keep coming to the forum even after we quit playing the game. That’s NOT normal behavior. None of us should be taken seriously where the game is concerned. Bungie needs to do real player engagement surveys to find out what normals like and don’t like and then build that game.

    🤦 let me start from the top. The people complaining about cores [i]state[/i] and [i]believe[/i] they are the majority. This discussion has been spread out in this thread. [i]its not specifically this one[/i]. If 4000 stood up vs 500000+? You're a minority. Simple. We have people here stating its a sample size and its representative. That's an excuse someone is making to make it seem like their complaint is more than solid. [i]its not[/i]. Sheer number? Still no. Parallel sentiment from the community. The same amount (since people love sample size so much) [i] also[/i] say streamers shouldn't make calls for the game and make changes. Hypocritical - streamers cant have an opinion because they [i]live and breathe this game [/i]but 4k people who cant voice as one [i]as a whole[/i] can sit here and say how the game works? Mind you a lot from this 4k have given up on the game, dont understand how games work, are pretty close minded and act entitled...just to name a few things observed on these forums. So when i sit here and treat this as a separate case, I shall stand and say how ridiculous this is. Im sure if we all sat in a huge room and you witnessed .8% of people standing, you'd tell them to sit down when you see 99.2* still sitting. You're arguing how the system works. Im talking about the reality of it. Bungie benefits [i]more[/i] with [i]more[/i] feedback. The more people participate the better. To sit there and say sample size be benefits more in politics is also ridiculous. More people = more people. We need a higher amount to know how the community feels about it. Also dont be a smartass and think if its 49 -51 id say 51 still dont care therefore 49% loses. Id honestly say 25% at best is a scary amount of disgruntled consumers.

  • Okay. We’ve established that you don’t understand statistics or how sampling works. We’ve also established that you didn’t read my last post. Were you in too much if a hurry to respond to actually read what you were responding to? While you make those you are debating look brilliant I think I’m done wasting time on you. Enjoy.
