I spent a lot of time on this survey along with our marketing director, we'd like to ensure that our efforts, and the efforts of those responding were not wasted.
You know Dave, you could salvage things by verifying the email addresses provided in the surveys.
The email address provided should match an actual player with an actual active account. If the email provided is used on multiple surveys then the first occurance of the email provided (the first Survey completed by said email) is the one that wins.
And if players submit emails that are not connected to any active game account or not connected to any account at all then those results should be tossed anyway. Just assume "x" percent of results are going to be from players who shared the link. It's going to happen. It's like asking a group of young people not to drink at their friends huge house party.... not gonna happen. Alcohol IS going to get snuck in.... lol.
I just assumed everyone got the survey. I was surprised to know it was random. But I guess regardless it will offer about the same feedback.
