pwe, survey by peanuts is broken. are you aware? are you going to fix it?
Since Peanut Labs is a different company, my guess is: no and no.
"Participation in PVP-related activities is so low on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis that we could in fact just completely take it out of STO and it would not impact the overall number of people [who] log in to the game and play in any significant way." -Gozer, Cryptic PvP Dev
Like others, I don't necessarily know if the actual surveys are broken...
But the concept does seem to be.
I am getting tired of ninety-nine per cent of the time being told I'm disqualified from the survey. It wouldn't be so bad if we still got our Zen despite that, but getting DQ'd and nothing to show for it starts to get on the nerves.
Especially when it's a case of doing the stupid common sense questions about swimming fish and yellow lemons, waiting for the annoying thing to load the survey... then immediately being told I'm disqualified.

By and large, these are pretty broken. I'm pretty certain that all of the ones that pay decently involve some kind of personal information exchange (often with the idea of selling you something in mind), and everything else is narrowed to a ridiculously small market segment. I wouldn't bother with them, really, unless you know what hoops to jump through. I have yet to hear of more than one or two people who made more than a handful of zen off of them - I got a whopping three zen once. I promised myself I wouldn't spend it all in one place.
No, Cryptic, a 'sale' of getting bonus Zen for taking surveys and looking at offers is not fixing what's broken about them.
Like red01999 said, they're too limited by requirements of personal information (even so-called 'free' offers) or being disqualified from surveys because you don't fit the market segment. Besides which, for the few offer based ones that do work, (Usually answering questions about some disease) you get three Zen - that's not even enough to qualify for your '25% Bonus'.
