Not everybody goes to the forums. I think posting in-game that a poll is up is a good thing. It gives those who don't read the forums daily to know that Cryptic wants their input.

Um, the polls are on the forums...if they choose not to go to the forums when the launcher suggests it, why would PINK text be the answer?

Oh, I don't know. Perhaps people have a natural aversion to complainers like you and only get their information from in-game announcements and the main page.
they're informing people of the polls ingame now? EXCELLENT! It might annoy the OP but i find it a huge step up from just mentioning it in a launcher you don't have to use outside of updating.

They did the same thing with the previous poll (the one about ambient creatures). I had a blast making comments in Fleet chat that day.
most sane ppl stay away from forums because of emo ragers like you. its their game, they can cry if they want to, cry if they want to
See, you dont have to be nasty....Emo Rage, Hardly...
Frustration with the bugs from this release, after those of us that are on tribble and sent in bug reports, and see it released anyway...
So when you see the PINK text come across the screen for the purpose of a Poll, it is quite disheartening.
Dont be name calling Sevensev that is uncalled for on these boards
So those that decided to reply are for the PINK TEXT poll directing people to go to the forums to vote...You can disagree with my premise that the bull horn for the SYSTEM Text should be used for SYSTEM issues not some poll - I would have no complaints if they had an Advertisement Text that did not pertain to the SYSTEM .....I have no issue those that dont share my opinion, but dont label me because you dont like my post.

Those poll results will affect the SYSTEM you'll be playing over the next few months to years.
How about letting the ADMINISTRATORS of the SYSTEM do what they need to to meet playerbase requests?
It's hardly unreasonable to have messages like that - for this genre or any other multiplayer game.
The way this thread was titled, I thought an admin has had just about enough of our shenanigans.
As to what the OP was talking about, yes it grabs your attention, but it's limited to the chat box.
Were it across the middle of the screen, I'd be annoyed.
I must be a lucky SOB, I played all day until about an hour ago and did not run into a single bug. I actually enjoyed the Slider and got some pretty decent loot. Was fun to worry about geeting wounded and such. Also I liked that they went live with the Auction fixes. Was much easier finding what I wanted at a decent price. Oh, well to each his own. I had a nice day doing my dailies and such on 3 different toons.
This is clearly an important vote, some people rush and skip the launcher messages.
So it's good to rally more Romu... er... voters. Just to make sure there is not a huge Horta following hidden somewhere.
Seriously though, this is actually good communication, complaining about good communication is like shooting yourself in the foot with a Disruptor or something. Cryptic wants to be sure they're on the right track, and that's not a bad thing. I saw the message once, over the span of two longish missions. Hardly spamming...

It'd be even better to build the poll into the game since it is vital to get input from all players.
