To everyone like me who found the posts by K*mstar well written and full of intelligent sounding facts and figures and arguments: Read the signature. So much for his credibility. Even if he was right, who would listen to the opinion of someone who proudly admits to luring people?
Same goes for Waternoose who "tried" not to take advantage of new players, but after all, it's not like it's against the rules or anything.... Yeah right.
Or why don't we get our advice from Mr. illiililli or whatever. Sure, lets modify our game to suit people who obviously play so rudely they pick a name for the sole purpose of being hard to report.
After a while it gets really hard not to get personal here.
To all you people saying this is Jagex listening to "The Majority." Please, give us a break. You know you don't even believe that yourself. Jagex had already obviously decided to do this.
They made the first poll COMPLETELY differently from any other poll they do on a regular basis.
They initially misleadingly labelled the "vote yes" button "vote now."
They encouraged making new accounts to vote yes.
They allowed voting for other people (esp. opponents).
The poll was specifically designed to vastly overrepresent people in favor, so that they could justify a second "real" poll, whose ratio of yes to no has been relatively constant the entire time it's been up.
Why so many more votes on the easier-to-cheat-on first poll than the better designed second poll, in which you can still vote all your new accounts you made for the first poll?
I could go on forever destroying your ridiculous claim that it's the majority's preference. As has been pointed out by others, PVP worlds are vastly underutilized. And I remember a poll not too long ago that specifically asked what people did on RS and I think it was like 10% that said PK. It sure as heck wasn't as high as even 50%. (Yes, I know, some are voting yes for increased bots, oops... I mean unlimited trade, not for old wildy.
