Such a good idea to poll the mobos for items in the expansion....  the combined wisdom of those posters.... useful for the crucible.

It can't hurt, and it's better to applaud them for asking the players for input than to damn them for ignoring them.

Not a chance. That would require more than 1 vote.

Aggregate input from their customers on the mobo would be very useful, if only in identifying trends that have emerged in the different segments of the player base. Being able to compare a post with post count and account purchase history is an excellent metric for them.

I'm reserving judgement until I see how it all plays out.  ASKING for input and LISTENING to input are vastly different things.  They added a caveat along the lines of "we reserve the right to tell you to fuck off and make whatever we want"

Lynn: "The winning option of each poll will change further decisions ..."

This poll won't do anything they don't want. +1 for involving the community though.

I would like to see a blade that goes in your off-hand & takes sentience, but only if you have both GTWF and PTWF... an estoc or main gauche for greatly increased AC and PRR would be SWEET

A community selected item is a good idea for giving people a feeling of agency.  I hope they make it something universal.   Kinda like the death ward clickie in WPM.   (Or a PLIS or Jibbers or Voice for example)  Something that fits most any build vs. something that would have stats on it that would apply to only one build.

It sounds like it will be a free to acquire in game item (thinking like the Phiarlan pendant of time) rather than something that is raid or quest named loot.   

If so, I think it's a fine idea, even if it isn't a metagaming item that will be highly desirable.

Meh.  This is clearly something that has full constraints, the crowd will simply select from preset list of things.  If you like the illusion of choice this item will be very satisfying.

I'm going to try to say this as politely as possible so please cut me some slack before flaming back.  Sometimes it seems like you only enjoy posting complaints about the game and the team at SSG, and it makes me wonder why you even bother playing or posting if it is so terrible?

For me, DDO is still an excellent game for all it's faults. I don't ignore mistakes or misteps by the developers but I try not to let them ruin the fun and enjoyment I get from all the great stuff in the game. Something like this growing for over a decade and end up being produced by a company small enough to make some rough around the edges expansions and expand way beyond the source material is pretty cool.

Good for you!  So exciting!!  And seriously, good for you, if you like it.   But I have been playing since 2007 with a break in the middle.  Obviously, you aren't familiar with me or my posting history, I give credit where due.  However, one item, which I may be wrong about, does not make up for the tin ears of the DDO dev team going back to day one when people bring up real issues.  Do you seriously think this item  is going to be something game changing?  Get your pom poms and head over the mobos where your comments mean something and don't forget to vote.

Yeah, with only 175 odd votes, those lost socks can really make a difference.

A)  Choosing a stat is automatically limiting.

B)  In picking a stat, you would need to know the ML to know whether it is either under-represented in that level range or in the goggles slot at that range and compatible with other gear options of that range.   Without the ML, the selection is a stab in the dark.
