When only 300 people vote in a total of 2629 views, there is definitely something wrong with the poll. You need maybe 10-20 minutes to google and read the most introductory theory on statistics to realize that such a poll is not representative of public opinion within this forum alone, much less the entire community.

Also, out of those 300 people that voted, i saw quite a few saying that "i voted no DX9 only because i don't use it and there is no other option in the poll". Which means that even among those 300, not all are totally against it.

See, when you're a moderator you pretty much have to read everything, so it's hard to miss the "evidence"

Finally, effects are done entirely in DX9 and that's why there are no hit flashes and mini-explosions in the DX10-only test patch.

No DX9 = no effects = probably more patch delays to make the effects from scratch in DX10. Go ahead and convince them to remove DX9 if you want the patch to take longer, i'm sure nobody in the community will have a problem with that , not to mention my job will become much harder as a result.
