Thread: Guild Wars 2 Survey

    Guild Wars 2 Survey

    Hello Everyone
    I am currently working on an undergraduate research paper on video games including Guild Wars 2 and i was hoping that you would be willing to take the time to take a survey i have made to help me gather information on the subject it should not take more than 10 min. All input would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have any questions or comments about the survey please feel free to email me at grantwalker91@aol.com.

    Thank you again for your time!!

    Could you explain a bit more about the backgrounds and the purpose of that research paper, what institution it is for, and exactly what you are investigating? Because I've looked at the initial series of questions, and they don't really give me a lot of faith in this project. But maybe you can convince me that I am wrong...

    Yeah, the survey didn't seem to be very useful. It was mostly generic, and didn't seem to capture very much information... and what it did ask seemed to be quite limited within itself. I dunno, I've never been an undergraduate, but I can't see how this survey would produce any useful results. Sorry.

    Well, the way the survey is set up, it could just as easily be a research project from gold farmers into the most effective farming methods in mmo's. So with the little information we have right now, I cannot possibly advise anyone to participate.

    I'm going to be honest, from what Centaur and Lucread posted I wanted to see for myself what they were talking about and honestly, this seemed more like some sort of gold farming organization attempt. Thankfully I gave bogus information. Even if it were research, it's poorly done. The sample size is way too small to get a good statistic from, there are only two answers to each question and it has an immeasurable variable, which is an opinion.

    I would say this is most likely phishing for knowledge because I stated that I don't play MMOs, don't farm for gold and it still asked me where an ideal place to farm gold is.

    Agreed. For an apparently-religiously person, s/he sure is judgmental.

    Sure have been a lot of these ”research papers” popping up lately.

    Hello everyone im sorry i am just getting back to you but.

    I am currently doing an undergraduate research paper at University of California Irvine I was hoping to write about how games with crafting systems and auction house systems have more "work" related aspects to them such as farming but the initial results of the survey suggest i might have been wrong to assume that. I am probably going to have to rework my paper based off of the results and i agree that i do not have a very big base of people but i am just trying to get a feel for if my hypothesis is solid.

    I also agree the survey could have been done better but for my purposes with it the questions give enough information for me to go off of.

    Thank you guys for talking the time to give me feed back and address your concerns with me i hope that i have been able to address all of them
