They know your bid history. They know who you are. This survey isn't to make us happy it's for them to look at the bottom line and see if the current system is actually making more money overall. If you haven't bid much at pool in the past they don't give a rip. This is all about ROI and the bottom line for them. You are basically telling them in the survey if you are for or against the sealed auction and that's pretty much helping them out! They will compare your previous auction history to the current system to study your bidding habits. This is a 100% financial decision.
 
Hint: Buy your coke around Passover time, when Coca Cola changes the formulation for certain markets and makes it with sugar instead of corn syrup. Sugar is kosher, you see, while corn syrup is not.

Buy cases and cases and store them. They'll keep for the year.
 
Coke is only good for cleaning off your battery.

I agree. Pool would not be in this business if it was nothing more than that. However, at the very least I'm sure they did notice something was getting smoky with their engine. And negative word of mouth can only hurt a company, so a balance needs to be struck somewhere.

I think the deadliest thing for most users are still ghost bidders and insider manipulation/trading. You can still program auction scripts or organize teams of internal shill "companies" to skillfully extract every cent from your proxy based on what you proxied, so trust is important.

Many business people still hold onto the notion that there are morons out there born every second, and why not sucker them to death since a fool and his money are soon parted.

Right now, its pretty much a cowboy town out there in domain land. You just have to grit your teeth and hope for the best.
