I don't. I've only seen the voting screen twice while I occasionally alt+tab back to the game to check on it. From asking the question in matches, I've come to the conclusion that about 20-25% of people don't vote because they alt+tab out to avoid staring at the same searching screen for minutes at a time, or they just up and leave their desk entirely while searching for a match.

Opinions?

Also, I've already posted this in the feature suggestions - they really should boost voting time by 5-10 seconds and have the task bar icon blink when it goes to the voting screen instead of when the match is ready to drop. Would probably get more people to vote.

I alt tab out until it flashes and by then it is already decided so I have not voted a single time.

I like your style. Also, I'm pretty sure your sig is 100% accurate.

I stopped voting for maps. The only thing i do now is vote conquest when it comes up. Never see conquest anymore at all.

I'm usually alt tabbed so I miss the vote.

Sitting there for 4-5 minutes watching a spinning circle waiting to connect.. yeah, not as fun as it sounds.

I always vote conquest and hot maps too.

But people who don't vote don't care what map they get. If they don't care what map they get, they SHOULDN'T vote. Leave voting to those who care.

Another day another 3 Skirmish games in a row, which I never vote for. As such, my MWO play time is getting really short, affording me to do other things ... like watching Spectre!!!

I never get to see the vote screen because I'm alt-tabbed.

I don't really bother voting.

The only time I vote is if I manage to catch it, and I prefer to vote any map that isn't Terra Therma... with the occasional less Bog.

I know you said "survey" but that's just a fancy way of taking a vote, and well......

both.

Fortunately when I'm busy and tabbed out people make choices I can live with.


Been seeing a lot more conquest already.
