Poll Results: "Do you like the proposed rule change for transfers?"

In the VtES Usenet Newsgroup LSJ had suggested a change for the transfers rule, which says that the transfer rules shouldn't be unnecessarily restricted to uncontrolled minions. The rules change proposal looked like this:
  • Spend 1 transfer to move a counter from your pool either to a vampire you control or a card in your uncontrolled region to your pool.
  • Spend 2 transfers to move a blood from either a vampire you control or a card in your uncontrolled region to your pool.
The poll asked the readers of this blog, if they liked this proposed rules change for transfers. 233 readers of this blog voted in the poll:
  • Yes, make it happen! -- 10 (4%)
  • Yes, but playtesting is necessary. -- 34 (14%)
  • No, but I'd like a different implementation. -- 16 (6%)
  • No, stop this non-sense. -- 160 (68%)
  • I don't care. -- 13 (5%)
The large majority (68%) rejects the rule change outright, while only a miniority (18%) actually likes the rules change directly or would accept it with more playtesting. Another 6% of the readers would like to see a different implementation of the rule. So despite the high volume of the posts regarding the rules change for transfers the large majority is not fond of any rule change in this area.
