Just did the poll. I'm not really a poll person, but recently I've been looking at them and I'm starting to use them a lot more. It's very interesting to see them.
Some of the topics can be quite interesting, though the last one about quests I couldn't do. Questing isn't my thing and that would of been very nice to put in the list on the clan thing today. I'd of definitely have got involved in celebrations if quest helping was one of the options. :p Other then that, great poll this week!
It's very nice to show some interest in what people think about clans, though the majority of clans are PvP based or something to do with combat. Nice to see what other people think though.
Can't wait for the next poll!

Thanks again for your kind comments and interesting suggestions - all very much appreciated! First up today - some answers to some specific questions!

I doubt we'd run a poll on player ages because even though the results are anonymous, we're not really that interested in age groups for polls - we just want to know what players think about things. Of course I'll never say never, but that's how I see things at the mo. ;-)
Auroran Rage
Fear not, there are more guaranteed content and content-influencing polls in the diary and we're most certainly planning to make sure it always stays that way! :-)

We look at all poll suggestions and add them to a big sheet of suggestions that we can plunder when we need the next player suggested or inspired poll. We won't usually give specific feedback, but rest assured your contributions are appreciated! ;-)

Congrats to all of you who answered correctly and thanks very much for playing along! we hope to have another pro quiz for you soon! ;-)
Interesting poll, though I must say that none of the options in 4 cover the one thing that's most likely to put me off from joining a clan: Some clans tend to make demands on my playing time, for instance compulsory clan events. If I'm made to feel that I'm letting my clan down by not showing up for clan wars or competitions against other clans, or even just internal clan events... My playing time is my own, I don't like clans that infringe on that.
