What the heck...Neopets poll.

Thu Nov 25, 2004 1:23 am

Which is your favourite wheel? (Poll No. 322)

Here are the results so far (out of a total 161787 votes) :

Monotony : 17,161 (10.61%)
Excitement : 130,633 (80.74%)
Misfortune : 6,530 (4.04%)
Mediocrity : 7,454 (4.61%)

Do these people not realize the awesome prizes the Wheel of Monotony always gives? I find it odd that all these people voted the Wheel of Excitement, when all it ever gives is less neopoints than you paid to spin it. Rarely does it give over 200 NP. Yet I won a Mazzew from the Wheel of Monotony the other day. Could someone enlighten me on why the Wheel of Excitement is so great?

It's not 500 neopoints, it doesnt take hours to spin, and it doesnt zap your items to sludge or take neopoints from you.

It's because the Montony Wheel takes soooooo long. This would be my guess

I've yet to win anything decent from the monotony wheel. I usually get that stupid bird beast. Not to mention the time involved in waiting. Thus I don't spin it very often anymore.

I disagree. I hate wheel of Monotony, I have to wait 2 hours and all that happens is that my pet hits herself with a rock. WOE is so much better, it almost always gives me something better than 150np and I have won so much great prizes from it. Like a stamp worth 90k or a 60k petpet.

People like me with absolutely no patience are more attracted to the Wheel of Excitement.

Um... why wouldn't anyone choose the Wheel of Monotony? Maybe because it's a long and expensive way to go to the Beast's Lair?

The Wheel of Monotony isn't long. Just leave it in a different tab and go browsing around in a different one. Mute the sound and it's like it's not even there. All you have to do is keep an extra tab open for 2 hours. Is that so hard?

Erm...but the WoE has the Pant Devil O.o

Maybe people voted on the fun factor? Prettieness? WoE is quick, fun, cheap, can give you random items and much more.

But I *want* the Pant Devil so I can get my Meerouladen or Heermedjet avatar.

woe has different prizes than the WOM. I've won a 95K stamp from teh WOE, the best thing I've ever gotten on the WOM (besides the av) is a trip to the lair of the beast... followed by a trip to the healing fountain.

Maybe it's because WOM has better animation?

I got attacked by the pant devil from the WOE a while ago and didn't get him as a challenger.

I hate the wheel of Monotony because it takes so long. I have to minimize the screen and pull up another one if I want to do anything else, and that sort of slows me down for some reason. Anyway, I think the wheel of monotony should be a little less monotonious. I mean, after about ten or twenty minutes we get the point. I know it can give great prizes but a lot of people like me are not patient.

Ditto.
It really stinks to have the first challenger a random event, because then it takes forever to even get to start DoN.

You can open things in tabs you know... You don't have to open an entirely new window.
