I've redesigned the survey. You can now vote to keep or remove for each scenario.

You forgot or deleted some choices..
Can you redesign the survey so people can add scenarios?
Also make the survey its OWN topic

It would only allow 10, so I listed the ones with the most votes from the previous poll.

Ok that makes sense but are we able to look at the results after we vote

Odd how removing Scenario's from the game takes precedence over such things like - adding Scenario's.
BGA is becoming the play only the easy scenarios will be played.
Players Preference is the name of the game. It's a wonder how DoW was able to Connect players with M44 at all.
we are not asking to dumb down the game
You are correct - you're "not asking."
This is a new game, new to BGA. While using this Forum as a - department of testers to test the game. While this helps nail down bugs, I also think it leads to a bit of "dumbing down" as well. With enough testers, you will eventually start catering to the lowest common denominator. It's easy to get caught up in nostalgia and idolize games, but comparing newer games to older ones show that now they try to streamline and make the game as accessible as possible. And while accessibility is good, you run the risk of tainting what players liked about the old game.
Stop trying to make the game something that it is not meant to be.
No trying involved, it just happens...new rules, new devs, new players, new format = New game.

So... of 782 players in the current arena season, 10 (1.3%) have answered the survey and no scenario has received more than 8 votes for removal.

Not really an overwhelming vote for removal of any.
How many of the Elite level players have voted?

Well most do not say anything and just go with the flow but like in anything if you do not vote than you should not complain about what happens with the outcome

First of all, there are a ton of scenario's already implemented, and developers are diligently working to add more. You can even play your own right now. So no need to make a remark like that.
Second, we're voting to remove scenario's from *ARENA* play for *this season*. That does not mean that they will be removed forever.
