Should Game Mode selection switch to Vote Selection when players online drop below a certain threshold?

  1. Yes - both Solo and Group queue (2 votes [40.00%] - View)

    Percentage of vote: 40.00%

  2. Yes - Solo queue only (0 votes [0.00%])

    Percentage of vote: 0.00%

  3. Yes - Group queue only (2 votes [40.00%] - View)

    Percentage of vote: 40.00%

  4. No (0 votes [0.00%])

    Percentage of vote: 0.00%

  5. Don't Know / Indifferent (1 votes [20.00%] - View)

    Percentage of vote: 20.00%

The recent short lived experiment with using the Game Mode Vote Selection method produced quite contradictory experiences at least as far as anecdotal evidence on the forum is concerned.

However, I suggest that PGI consider the merit of automating the matchmaker to activate the vote selection method when player numbers fall below a certain threshold (to be determined based on game data).

During that period, an icon would appear in the Mechlab to indicate the change in game mode selection method. This would alert players to the change and allow them to enter their votes appropriately.

Alternatively, players could enter their choices in "Settings" so that their votes are automatically picked up when the selection method changes.

Your poll is faulty! You can not abstain from single questions. You have to answer them all.

If someone answers with "no" on the first one, he still has to answer the second question as if he had answered with a "yes".
