Hi,
Personally I couldn't vote for the first two polls, even though each time I tried not long after it has opened (like the next day or something like that) : it was already closed.
I'm not sure the amount of voters is really relevant of what the majority thinks about all of this : I think the polls were opened on a too short time and there should have been choices like "more battles in inactive worlds only"; or even for the first poll : "none of these possibilities". Because without this option, one of these ideas would necessarly been imposed to us whatever we think about it.
If I could have voted and with this kind of choices, I would have voted : "more battles in inactive worlds only" and "even out of event period" (but still for inactive worlds).
I think what made Awesomia Fort Battles special and enjoyable is the fact it was an event thing : rather rare with an attractive reward (in event currency), and reward given to every participants even to those who's been unfairly excluded. It allowed to enjoy even more an event without unfairness/frustration feeling (and even sometimes was necessary to play an event -cf. the last St Patrick Event which was undoable without these battles). Even the death is compensated by the double reward.
These battles in event should be more or less frequent regarding the difficulty of the event and the activity of a world so the option "more battles" in the first poll was a bit confusing. Out of an event period, I don't think they are needed in active worlds : it can on the contrary make them less "special" (cause more frequent and with more banal reward), unfair if the death isn't compensated anymore by an added reward and if they are always scheduled the same day or hour (potentially always the same who are at advantage), and it can interfere with real battles planification too ... On inactive worlds, they might be a lot more needed and enjoyable : to train, for quests or just to have fun, it can be a very good thing if there really isn't a lot of regular fort fight activity beside that. And that, even if the reward isn't a super big one of the death.
But that's just my point of view, I don't know if it's shared by a lot. Seems like I'm saying that a bit late but as said above, every time, when I wanted to share my opinion the polls were already closed with another one created, so it seemed a bit useless to post. I still post here because I've read several messages going against the results from people who seem to not have voted too. So just in case it's not so much useless than what I thought ...
Still thanks for all of this and to be opened to dialogue.
