I am going to do a TR special for this.  You don't get 35% xp every day.

Hmm, I develop a scripting language designed to extract data from the web, and access to a boat load of IP addresses.  Wonder what they would think if their poll had more results than players in DDO.

What about running Tor / using an onion router and deleting your cookies between each survey.

Best of my knowledge, there is no way to control end point, so you could end up re-using IP addresses. No need to delete cookies just run it in "incognito" browser window each time (or write a script)

Yeah, I don't think I will do an new tr.  My thought process went like this:

Grinding XP with 35% bonus!
Grinding XP
Grinding xp playing a class I hate
Fuck this.

When the hell are they going to announce the winner?

Not going to TR until I see 35% is a reality...but it takes fucking forever to clear out my TR cache and prep.

My guess is they'll flip the switch around 10:00 AM Boston time, and XP is clearly the winner in the polls.  But I'll check a quest an hour or so after Midnight and see if it kicks in early.

So, the bonus is not turned on, and now people on the DDO forums are speculating that since the poll was under the "Store Event" banner, then what we were voting on was a store item that is on sale for this week.

I certainly hope turbine isn't that stupid... but with their history, you can't really rule it out.

It appears there is some kind of guild renown bonus active. Bait and switch, store only XP item, or Turbine screw up?

Maybe we need another poll.

Jerry mentioned that the guild renown bonus is its own thing and that the thing-we-voted-for bonus isn't turned on yet.

They sure do know how to fuck up even the good things they do.

They have a poll saying whatever wins will be go live on the 9th, and the winner of the poll is the 35% XP.

The 9th comes and when you login, it says "Enjoy 20% guild renown for the next several days"

Confusion ensues because people expected 35% XP bonus that is NOT turned on yet and there's no CLEAR communication about the discrepancy.

So, Turbine rewards us with TWO simultaneous bonuses but then people still feel messed around with and instead of Turbine enjoying goodwill from an unexpected bonus, they get upset customers.

Good job, Turbine.

(Note, I'm not upset to care that much... just showing how they screw up even when they are trying to be generous.)
