PLAYER POLL: EVENT LOG HEADERS
I really hope you guys aren't sick of polls yet because there will be approximately thirty million more before the game ends. Apologies in advance. This is a simple yes / no / other poll, though, which makes it a relatively easy one!
The topic for discussion today is event log headers. Awhile back, it was requested that we start making district headers for easier navigation through event logs that would span the entire city. This way, if your character was going to be in the Sigyn district, they could easily find everyone in the Sigyn district under that header. However, it was also argued that posting the district header restricts people to one place when they'd prefer to have their location open to the entire city. The headers aren't required for use, they're simply there for convenience's sake and can be used or not used at your leisure, but we do understand that their presence in the log might make you guys feel obligated to respond that way.
So! It's been long in debate whether or not the district headers are doing any good. When this was discussed on an HMD I think sometime last year, there were a lot of voices both for and against the district headers, along with a few other suggestions for alternatives, but no clear conclusion was reached so I've been posting district headers anyway ( when I remember to do so because I suck ). As it's been brought up for discussion again, I decided that the only way to reach a concrete decision is with a poll! Yay!
Please vote only once and this poll will be considered closed at the end of the month. You guys can feel free to use this post for discussion as you wish. We'll keep an eye on things so that we can figure out how to make these logs work best for you! Thank you for your votes!
