One shortlist, ready before he goes live
Max streams WoW arena several evenings a week. His regulars call him MendCircuit, and they rarely let a healer tier list pass without a debate. Before tonight’s broadcast, he opens TopX to give that debate somewhere to go.
He chooses From an item set, opens World of Warcraft specializations and selects the Healer label. All seven healers arrive with their names and icons: Restoration Druid, Holy Priest, Preservation Evoker, Discipline Priest, Holy Paladin, Restoration Shaman and Mistweaver Monk.
He chooses Tier list with the Classic S–D template and sets the question: “Which healers would I want for organised 3v3 arena, with a team coordinating its setups?” The scope stays clear throughout the stream.
Finally, he opens a community link, selects himself as the creator and enables comparison with his board. The empty list and voting link are ready. He leaves his own placements for the live discussion.

“I’ll place mine. You place yours.”
On stream, Max shares TopX through his usual streaming software. He opens Present and chooses his own Board. L switches to picture tiles, O turns on the dark stage and N hides item names. The familiar spec icons and S–D tier letters stay visible. Q brings up the voting QR code beside his board.
“Druid goes in S for me. The healing over time lets us keep moving, and Cyclone gives us another setup.” Holy Priest and Preservation follow in A. He talks through Discipline, Holy Paladin and Restoration Shaman in B, then places Mistweaver in C.

“Mistweaver mains, I can already hear you. Scan that code and show me your board.” Viewers can open the community link without a TopX account. Each viewer places the healers, or chooses Don’t know it, before completing the bot check and selecting Reveal. Their comparison stays hidden until then.
One of his regulars, Nessa, scans the code on her phone. She has no TopX account. “Mistweaver in C? I’m putting it in A for the comp we play.” She places Druid in S, Mistweaver and Preservation in A, then Holy Priest, Holy Paladin and Discipline in B. Shaman goes into Don’t know it; she has not played enough with one to judge it.

Actual TopX voting and comparison components, with fictional local votes. The real community page requires every item to be answered and a bot check before Reveal. This replay does not send votes or perform that check.
After completing the bot check, Nessa taps Reveal. Her ballot becomes the 41st vote in this illustrative stream. She chooses Save access to my vote and keeps the private link so she can reopen her ballot on her PC. She returns to watching the stream and leaves the comparison for a few days later.
Max also shares the link with his community after the stream. More votes arrive, and more viewers join over the next few days. Each ballot contributes to the community result; his own board stays separate.
The community takes its turn
41 illustrative community votes. Max’s own ballot stays separate.

“412 votes. Let’s see where we disagree.”
Three days later, Max brings the list back on stream. In this illustrative story, 412 viewers have voted. He switches to Creator vs community, keeping the dark stage and item names hidden.
His board sits on one side; the community result sits on the other. TopX shows the agreement and marks the differences. Restoration Druid still leads, but chat puts Mistweaver in B, a tier above Max’s C.

“All right, chat. You’ve moved Mistweaver up. Tell me which comp you’re playing it with.” The follow-up stream starts with a clear difference to discuss, and the voting link remains open for the next viewer.
Nessa opens her saved private access link on her PC. TopX restores her existing anonymous ballot without an account or another vote. Three days have passed and the community now has 412 illustrative votes. She switches between vs creator and vs community: her Mistweaver is in A, Max’s is in C, and the community’s is in B. “Okay, I’m still higher than both. Let me explain our setup.”
