Infinite complexity can be rendered wholly irrelevent by simply taking the game digital.
go digital go digital go digital go digital

That´s a nice poll. I' m curious how you did it! Great job trying to gather some data for WoTC.
You have to create each question separately. Hit Home at the top of the page, then blog, then "my polls". Create a new poll, then copy the embed stuff to note pad. Make as many polls as you want, then create a new post in the forums hit the "html" button and paste in the polls, I put in HTML br tags between each one...
thanks!

Which editions do you dislike DMing because of the complexity of the system?
Forces an answer... I didn't dislike any of them due to complexity; none of them were hard to understand. However, being forced to choose might skew the interpretation of the poll.
Personaly I have another problem with that question.
It does not take in acount if people played a edition, as it is now it only works for people who have been a Dm in al 4 editions.
the percentages for 1st and 2nd edition might be lower just becouse the percentage of people here who where Dm in those editions is lower.

More digital support. Ease of encounter creation. Ease of NPC/Monster creation (No more 3.5 dreg). MORE ADVENTURES! 
My two copper.

The point of the poll is to find out how complexity affects how people DM. So if it doesn't affect you at all, just ignore the entire poll...
That would be the part where I said I was ignoring the poll, yes. Now where's my pony, money, and/or bacon? 
For those confused on how DDN's modular rules might work, this may provide some insight: http://www.tor.com/blogs/2012/11/the-world-of-darkness-shines-when-it-abandons-canon
@mikemearls: Uhhh... do you really not see all the 3e/4e that's basically the entire core system?

I have to wonder who wouldn't say no to "Would you enjoy an easier experience as a DM?" as it's currently phrased.
I guess that'd be me??
Other than generally disliking 4e, I REALLY disliked DMing 4th. I was mechanicly bored.
So no, I guess I don't want an easier time of DMing.....

Yeah I get that Lokiare, what Im saying is that its kind of a loaded question. Its kind of like me saying, Do you like your popcorn fresh, or do you like stale? I can't imagine a poll like that would create much variety in answers. If however you said, would you prefer to buy popcorn for 2.99 when its fresh from the popper, or pocorn that has been sitting out for a few minutes for only .99 cents which one would you take... than you might get variety because its not a black and white thing anymore.
Again, everyone will pick simpler because, why would anyone pick complex over simple... I mean its a default answer. The question really has not context unless you explain the benefits and drawbacks of simple vs. complex which I believe there really are clear ones as one represents less options the other represents more options.
The questions as written will skew the results. What if someone does or does not like DM'ing but for some reason other than complexity? The game, like life, isn't so black-and-white.
So, in my case, and completely ignoring the skewed poll, to answer the question posed in the subject title - well, I really enjoy DM'ing regardless so to make me like it more, they could pay me I guess? That'd be cool. Or give me a pony. That would also be neat. Or a kitten or something. Or bacon. Yeah, bacon works.
The point of the poll is to find out how complexity affects how people DM. So if it doesn't affect you at all, just ignore the entire poll...
By ignoring the number, you're setting your own poll up to to be skewed... However, ignoring...
