Please Help me with my Research about Maple Story

Hello. My name is Daniel. English is not my native so sorry for mistakes and errors. Anyway, I am studying Game Design. In about 2 weeks I have an exam (well sort of) which has topic "Read Player Trends". Basically it's about me (us) understanding our player, their needs, trends, and what action/changes should we add in order to both make players happy and not stray to far away from the core design of the game.
For that I need a lot of data. But I am a Maple Story player from years already so I thought that I might ask you guys for help, as you are the closest player base I know of which I am a part.
If you could please visit this form and answer all the question that would help me a lot!
The form is rather short and plain so it takes just a few minutes of your time and would be a HUGE help for me.
I hope you will have fun filling the form.

Thank you very much!!!
Shame so little people bothers i did posted this thread on major Maple Story related forums but barely anybody fills the form so far i have only 6 filled forms.

Filled; hopefully you get more responses.

Submitted it too, good luck!

Filled.

I briefly alluded to Riot Games, Inc. in case there's any confusion.

Filled.
It would actually be interesting to see what others had to say...

filled in for ya~

I filled it out, good luck with your exam of sorts.

MapleStory is a great example of a wonderful game that has been completely ruined by a shift to metrics-driven design.

Edit: Maybe "is being" is more appropriate than "has been"

Done. It would be nice to see the results or a summary later if possible.

Sent in my responses. I don't know if there are regional restrictions, but maybe survey monkey in the future?

Anyway, good luck and I hope our contributions help you on your assignment.

Goodluck with your test/assignment haha.

Game designers should include GM trainings lol.
Obviously one of the most lacking in GMS is GM presence and their lousy handling of customers.

Tell me about hah!
On topic: i barely recived 20 fileld forms by now i really need more. Maybe not thusand lol but one hundred would be enough for proper research. This way the data will be more accurate.

Have you tried posting in other Maplestory fan sites aside from the official forums?

i think i "spamed" all of them @_@
But people are kind a lazy those days. But i cannot blame them to much.
They are propably playing Maple Story and just don't see my thread =\

Filled it in

Funnily enough, the question I struggled most on was "What feature do you enjoy most in Maplestory". It's sad when you play the game but can't think of a single thing you like about it.

I'll be frank with you.. I don't think the lack of responses have to do with laziness than a lack of incentive to complete the survey. At best you can expect voluntary contributions because it's not feasible to hold any of your responses up to a particular standard.

It's something I think you should ethically point out in your research assignment, or at least note when it comes to response bias, but that's a whole different topic.

At least you tried reaching out to other forums.
