Right now there's a huge number of things sitting at the bottom with single-digit votes (or even no votes at all.) Most of those aren't bad suggestions, it's just that since people only get a few votes, they never reach that point.
I think that's due to a lack of consolidation. 200+ items and 3 votes.
Take the issue "jobs" for instance.
There are
at least 7 or 8 entries asking for various aspects of "jobs" to be improved. Sometimes they are even doubling up, such as "Auto-Mining" also mentioning issues that are included in "Automated zones of treecutting and plant gathering".
So which one would you pick with only 3 votes?
There is also an entry for "improved Hauling" and "Improve Hauling to Workshops".
One is #1, the other #225. Why exactly is one of them so unimportant?
Both are effectively about... "Hauling".
Same problem.
And then there's the human herd instinct.
Why vote for somethingthat currently has 2 points to it when I could vote for something borderline related that has 200? My vote would be on a winner item. It may not be what I want but the vote wouldn't be "wasted" on a loser.
That's not what voting is for...
In order for people to vote for the things they really want, the votes must have weight. All votes.
So... what if all these entries would have a tag added so they could be evaluated by the script?
It would list how many "jobs" improvements had been asked for and how many "crafting" improvements.
That would put some sort of
value into all the low-order suggestions because even if that particularly tiny aspect of "jobs" was not in the top ten, it
would increase the significance of the general area "jobs".
Every vote would actually be useful instead of merely vanishing into the eternal oblivion of #50+
