Why this video?
To make a "What does the community of Wildstar would like to see in the game" video, in order to hopefully get some of this feedback to Carbine.
 
What did i do?
I asked over 200 people what they would like to see added/changed in Wildstar.
Organised all that feedback, and made a top 12 list.
 
Why the C.R.E.D.D. giveaway?
I am halfway in my 100 day Youtube challenge now (check my YT channel for more info), and i'd like to give something back to the community who supported me so far, as well as the people who supplied me with feedback for this video.
(Information on how to win the C.R.E.D.D. can be find in the video. )
 
Hope you enjoy! :)

So let me see if I got this straight.
 
The #1 piece of feedback that you got--what Wildstar wants most--was a bigger population of players. And at the top of the list of suggested solutions that you got back was--as much as you wanted to avoid it--advice about the payment model. And you summarized that feedback--showing obvious reluctance to even talk about it at all--with the phrase "All I wanna say about it is that the current payment system is great." 
 
Sounds legit.  :lol:
 
How many of your survey participants agreed with your view of how great the current payment system is, given that it came up in the context of the game's population woes?

As i did mention at the start of the video, the things that i wrote down in the video are direct feedback from the community, and the speech is my personal interpretation of that as well as my own opinion.
From the people who mentioned the payment model to me, they seemed to be quite split in their opinion on the F2P/ B2P/ P2P model.
I did not want the video to turn into a payment model discussion because i think there is already enough of that, and in my opinion there are other ways to achieve a similar goal.
 
Why do people say that population is an issue? Because they would like to have more people to play with.
Suggestions that i gave for that besides changing the payment model are for example:
 
- Advertisement (promotion videos, flicks, devspeaks, etc.)
- Removal of the faction barrier
- Cross faction looking-for-dungeon/ housing
- Multi-queue
- Merging the PvP and PvE server
- Making sure that all content is played, (by giving the right incentive to people) so that people who do try out the game again also would like to stay.
 
My apologies that you did not understand the way it was meant :)

The problem is that if you make a video called "What Wildstar Wants", you're claiming to present the opinions of the community as a whole. Your personal interpretation and opinions have no valid place in that--but they're almost the entire narrative of the video.

I'm sure they were, but anybody who reads these forums could've told you that. The interesting question is how many of them said F2P, how many said B2P, how many said P2P--and that's nowhere to be found in your video. There's a reason why real summaries of opinion surveys include both the question that was asked and the percentages of people who felt one way or another--that way the data can be interpreted without having to rely on the spin of the person collecting it.
 
The bit in red is where the title of your video becomes problematic. You can't speak for the community if you substitute your own opinion for the community's where you don't like the community's opinions. Your opinion is not "What Wildstar Wants". That's "What Oxz Wants".

I do data analysis for a living, thanks. That's why I understand how important it is to know what the actual questions were and what the actual percentage of respondents were that went one way or the other--among those who offered an opinion at all, which is much more of a concern in the semi-structured interview format he appears to have used.
