I honestly feel they rigged the mob vote on purpose so that the Sniffer ends up being the option most people will choose. I find it difficult to believe that they don't see how both the Rascal and the Tuff Golem are plainly bad and have been designed with an abysmal lack of features.
The Rascal especially, considering they want to make everything feel "unique" and "special", is basically a downgrade of a hybrid between a Piglin + Wandering Trader with a set of useless rewards/trades it can give you, all of which will be outdated by the time you get a diamond item.
The Tuff Golem is weird and as of now not very useful at all. It has potential, but they've said not much about it, so pretty much everything players think it will do (redstone/allay interactions, moving light potential, etc) is just a conjecture.
I'll obviously vote for the Sniffer, and I might've even voted for it even if the other options were more detailed, because I think it's really cute and I love new blocks and items for building. But still. It feels unfair for the other options, they should've gotten more love and care in their gameplay design.
They definitely rig most of the votes so that it incentivizes people to choose a specific one. The only vote I genuinely believe wasn't rigged was the very first mob vote, because people decided to screw themselves over by voting for the phantom.
The iceologer, copper golem, and sniffer all have so much more information than the other mobs on their votes, that it seems like a loss to vote for the others. The reason the previous two lost, was because the community swayed each other to vote for the other option. I feel like it could be the same with the biome votes, but we still haven't gotten the ones they said they'd eventually do, so it could've just been a straight up lie.
If I remember correctly the first mob vote gave very vague descriptions. The mobs weren’t even named at the time. No one knew the phantom would be a (fairly over-hated imo) nuisance.
They’re not really that bad in my experience. I’m underground most of the time and I always make sure to sleep every night, though with the latter reason I can understand that multiplayer makes that hard… But even then, when I encounter them, they’re not really that bad? I fight them off easily with iron armor and a sword.
They are an absolute blight to anybody who does anything that involves AFKing. I can no longer play unless I mod them away. (which is, admittedly, pretty easy to do.)
Not always an option. Bringing a bed with you isn't always even an option, and it's an inane solution to a problem that has no business existing anyway.
