You should do some research yourself. Do you know what a Gallup poll is? go to there website. the first poll you will see is about the entire USA. They took a poll of 1,025 Americans and it reflects all 315,131,667 of us. Now ask yourself, why does the #1 polling company in the world use 0.000003% of the population to come up with results representing 100% of the population?

Now answer me this. What do we know. We know there is about 70 unique users in this thread. Those are people who play Blitz enough to notice there was a change in Flame notes. They took the time to find out why and found this forum. Than they took the time to post on this forum. Out of the 70 about 5 said they were for the nerf. That means out of this forum 93% of the people are against the nerf.

Now what data do you have otherwise that shows any difference? It is the same question I posed in the earlier post if you properly read it. We have seen no data in anyway that shows that 93% is not accurate. You make assumption and your assumptions go against the facts that you already know.

How can you say the community who does not post is for or indifferent to the Flame note change when from the data and facts you do have 93% are against it. You base your opinions on no fact. You, Harmonix, or anyone else can come at me with real numbers. Real facts that I am wrong. But until you do your opinions are based on nothing but assumptions. I will continue to work with the facts.
Your Gallup poll point is good, but you cannot say with certainty that we're a representative sampling group. Their methodology is different and robust, and we have unknown variables: dissatisfied people are more likely to opt into participating, and there is a much lower casual-to-pro ratio among forum users versus non-forum users.

However, we do have signs and a priori arguments suggesting that the nerf does more harm than good for all players. It would be better to stick with them than to take such a hard line with yours.
