I really believe that the polling in OSRS from Skyzhay's blog
I work in market research and Qualtrics is a industry pillar. I understand but my experience let's me think it is alright if you do not feel comfortable with Qualtrics. Let's say I replied this survey frankly, who'd you imagine gets that data? After GDPR I've felt2007 RS Items pressured with every single site ever to monitor and monitor me it is disgusting, and even more disgusting that it was happening before without my knowledge. Taking a look at the survey link along with the basic disclosures at the bottom of the page it doesn't seem the Jagex is having a third-party company so if the only people who would have direct access to your information are the survey programmers who can pull exports out of the database to disperse internally. EU also has some pretty strong data privacy legislation that (at least my US based company which frequently interacts with Qualtrics links) are followed pretty strictly by the survey programmers and information hosting sites.
After running through the poll Jagex definitely appears to be operating solo on this one. No third party firm would allow participants directly enter in their contact info (because it would mean they'd lose your business to their customer [so not a nefarious thing]) and also the only area I found kinda strange was that the telephone number request at the conclusion. I would have substituted that using a check box for recontacting and pipe-in the email that you could optionally have put in earlier for confirmation. I think you are fine answering this questionnaire when you have privacy concerns since essentially all information is unknown and it's using an industry-standard platform of Qualtrics. Jagex probably does not have market study ISO certificates but this is a quick yearly survey so they would not need to have any.
I hope this feedback encourages the staff to make surveys more concentrated to the audience who actively take part in the content they're polling, or use them as an advisory tool instead of a judgment. It would be interesting if they reveal some of the results of this survey. I answered the precise contrary, that polling is at the core of OSRS and they should stick with it strictly. For clarity, I answered that polling is in the core of OSRS. The poll system empowers the whole playerbase to start freeform discussion on the planned changes/additions created to Runescape itself and it is absolutely a terrific way to gather feedback and public opinion on something. That said, I really don't think the current format satisfies the best interests of Runescape.
I really don't believe the participant base is particularly good at determining which material, based on objective virtue, is good for integrity and the health of Runescape long-term. We see people vote based on self interest. Based on polling, NMZ was enjoyed by the community but it was important to remove despite that, that Jagex did. Players Buy Old School RuneScape Gold do not vote for any changes which make things harder for them but over time that becomes a drawback as material becomes simpler and achievements are diluted, these are very slight but easily add up.
