The Bonds survey was sent out on behalf of Player Support and will help us to make informed decisions as we continue to improve Player Experiences across the board.

 

We regularly investigate different contact reasons to help improve the experience for our players, especially if they’ve needed to contact us. Players needing assistance with Bonds happens to be one of our top contact reasons, so we are eager to improve the situation where we can.

 

While we do have more stats than you can shake a stick at, it’s also useful to have a proper emotive understanding of the experience and this isn’t always obvious from cold, hard, statistics. The survey has been designed to capture information that other analysis might not provide and helps to define your User Journeys and identify any strengths or weaknesses, hopefully resulting in necessary changes.

 

We also appreciate that your time is incredibly valuable so we often have logic built into these surveys. We would prefer not to waste your time with irrelevant questions if you haven’t experienced any issues.

 

Surveys are an incredibly useful tool for all departments within Jagex to keep a pulse on our products and players and is at the core of our mantra that We are living games, and in this particular case has nothing to do with marketing, but is a tool for us to help understand you better! Just to be clear this is something we’re working on in Player Support and doesn’t impact any content development.

This is the first email I've received in several months of being signed up for emails. I originally signed up for the monthly xp summary emails but I've never actually received one. Bit of a kick in the shins to get this as a first outing.

I'm not one to usually gripe too much about MTX but being signed up for emails, I don't expect pointless surveys like this that I'm sure you could have analysed with ingame or website tools.

Thanks for reading

Thank you for your reply and for taking the time to comment.

I could be the exception; I can't imagine having any trouble with purchasing bonds, either you pay for them on the website or you buy them off the Grand Exchange. They seem quite straightforward in their purchase and use to me but perhaps I'm giving others too much credit.

I appreciate why it could be useful to canvass opinion, but in my opinion, this poll didn't really canvass opinion other than the last "Any further comments" box.

My gripe really was as you say, "prefer not to waste your time with irrelevant questions". I'm not anti-bond or anything, I just see them as perhaps more straightforward to use than your data would have suggested. I was really just a bit chumped that this is the first email I get from the company since being subscribed to the mailing list February-ish; makes me feel a bit like I'm signed up solely for bond polls rather than it being part of a mixed content email delivery.

Depending on your answers you were asked certain questions, if you didn't have an issue with your Bonds purchase then you were not asked some of the extra questions in the survey.

With all respect that box has been ticked for my account for several months. It may be that my account is a username log in rather than an email log in is affecting it.

Make sure you check out our Not Receiving Emails article :)
