Usually when I vote in a poll, my answers for the most part agree generally with the majority, but not entirely. Sometimes I completely disagree, and I find myself saying, "That can't be right...."

This time however it was creepy how much I agreed with the majority with one exception: Updates.

I was close to picking that one also. After all I wait for the newest quest with baited breath, and there are so many things that I think don't work the way they obviously should, that I'm always wondering, will they finally fix it this update?

But I think to a large extent the constant stream of updates causes more problems than they're worth. Perhaps reducing the frequency a bit would be preferable to the large problems that seem to happen just about every update. Not so much quests, but things like the heraldic bank space bomb, screwing up availability of basic storebought items, etc. If you took a little more time to test these things before release you would greatly please your customers.

I also find the increasing flood of new content a bit vexing. It's a bit like going to a video rental store; the more movies there are, the harder it is to pick one. I sometimes have to go to a guide and browse through all the myriad choices before one strikes me as interesting. I'd much rather have a few things that work right than a ton of new buggy stuff to pick from.

I enjoy answering your polls hoping the communities reponce will better Runescape, a few suggestions. I think it would be fun and interesting if these was a 1st person view and night and day (I know it says in a sticky not to mention) also of course more realistic graphics, as that one player made an image of Catherby seen from a players gallery, forgot which 1, but if the game looked like that it would be the best.

Wow this is very interesting:
Question 4 -
Roughly how long have you been playing RuneScape?
3 - 4 years...........................................39% (5648 votes)
5 - 6 years...........................................32% (4671 votes)
More than 6 years..............................15% (2191 votes)
1 - 2 years...........................................11% (1528 votes)
Between six months and a year........2% (224 votes)
Between a month and six months....1% (116 votes)
Under a month......................................0% (29 votes)

If you see that the biggest part plays runescape for over 5 years, 47% !!!! That is almost half of the RS players (*1)(*2)
Then another 39% between 3 and 4 years, and then you have the other 14% wich plays RS less then 2 years.
You can see that a lot of players quit within 2 years, and other people keep playing. (*3)

(*1)
A bunch of people didn't vote yet, and a buch of people will never vote.

(*2)I think new players aren't very likely to vote (I suppose) Maybe you have to try to let them vote too in some way

(*3)They probably don't play all the time, like me, but they play once in a while.

Nice poll this week however I really feel that there is a lack of diversity amongst player avatars. Sure everyone is wearing different items and have slightly different haircuts, etc; However, we really lack a huge difference amongst us and I feel if this was changed there would be a huge change in the feeling one gets whilst playing his/her character. They would become uniquely yours... or even as the pole suggest, one would feel they ARE his/her self :D .

As far as skilling goes... I don't really know :P I just feel that most skills are so similar I lose track of which I'm really training sometimes other than the fact that the exp is differentiated :P . I feel more effort needs to be put into make each skill it's own. (Then again; I'm almost maxed so meh... :D )
