Alarmingly Low Voter Turnout for Shadowlands Season 4 Mythic+ Community Poll

[Fluxoz]

Shame we seem to be picking a terrible dung, cant even vote to change that as the poll seems to be US only. Unless there's an EU one somewhere that I cba finding.

[A Chozo]

Statistically most players simply don't care about Mythic+. The forums simply parallel that.

In a bubble like this forum one may think that everyone has enthusiasm for endgame content but in reality? Niche. Less popular than World Quests.

[Razorice]

Grimrail Depot M+ will be fun. lol.

[Niwes]

As of writing this, there are three days remaining and the total voter count sits at just 15,878.

Do you believe people are merely unaware of the poll, or is this a sneak peak into just how small the playerbase size is now?

Poll in question: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wo...ngeons/1205558

hmm, i assume just not many ppl care any longer tbh. wow sucks since a good while and SL killed many customers. ppls just move on. so tbh, this is not that surprising imo. i play wow since 16 years without interruption and even i give a fuck these days. i just no longer care and it not much interessts me tbh. ppls move on and i do too. nothing special.

the reason i post in this forum just means i am still not out the door. i play some m+ 20s here and then. but that also doesnt mean, that i am still heavily interessted in all that shit Blizz produces since years. and seriously, what rehashed dungeon they add to m+…. i couldn’t care less.

I have voted, but I don't run Mythic+ anymore, so enjoy my Grimrail Depot vote.

Why vote if you aren't going to participate? Really wish people would stop voting for GD out of spite. It's going to be an awful M+ experience.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Yep, game only has 16k players, confirmed, because we know for sure that everyone both partake in M+ and visit official forums...

[PhillyCheese]

Why vote when you can click a button and see your choice won’t matter?

Making the poll visible was a mistake.

[ablib]

Do we have a reference? 16k votes doesn't sound too bad...

This. What a dumb thread. What poll are we comparing this one to? How is 16k low? Way to create a thread with an incomplete thought, OP.

[Kumorii]

The mount poll had 163k voters on NA forums. But again that involves everyone. This is about ~10% of that and only involves those who do M+

Sounds like expected amount then, hell even a bit better... alarm has been averted, maybe it should be "hopeful voter turnout".

[Twdft]

Side note, Iron Docks... Grimrail Depot... really?

Fast and easy dungeons. Do you really rather want to get Shadowmoon Burial Grounds or Everbloom?

Got Grimrail Depot with both tanks I use to get the easy 500 timewarped badges. Pulling the whole train is fucking fun (sorry melee lol).

Because I don't hate Mythic+, and maybe I would go if it was dungeons I enjoy? Grimrail Depot's vote was not out of spite at all.

Voted Grimrail Depot because the dungeon is a nice change in design, and there are actually things to do as well.

Yeah, actually. SBG is a more interesting dungeon by far, and without the janky camera to boot.

This kind of thing does not translate to M+ once affixes get involved. Even single packs are going to be a pain with far too many affixes in such a cramped space; no space to move, and no space to kite.

[Khaza-R]

As long as its not Skyreach I really don't care. I hate that dungeon with a passion.

[McNeil]

I didn't vote because I and many others don't care about mythic+

[Relapses]

If anything, this just proves that most people don't give a shit about the subject of the poll.

[ercarp]

I can't even vote on the poll because it's on the US forums, lol.

That's actually the dungeon I would have voted on if it let me. Of the options available, I personally think it's the best one for an M+ format.

[Djuntas]

Id like to see the offical forum traffic vs mmo-c, wowhead or reddit. I never go there, only use it for Diablo 3 really.

Also something I hate about the forums A LOT - Let it be global, stop the gates. Hell make it global in their games too.

[Kyanion]

There's likely a substantial part of the playerbase that participate in a WoW Discord server, which most likely has a channel for WoWhead announcements.

Source: Trust me bro.

If you think any large part of the playerbase pays any attention to discord, websites and forums well you're in for a rude surprise.

I was asking myself the same. Having knowledge of other people's votes kinda defeats the purpose of voting.

[Fistfighter]

Well, I'd say that most people don't care about:

US forums
wow forum in general
M+
WoD dungeons
