Question five was both hilarious and disgusting. So I chose to drink the juice of the Kalphite worker rather than drink the sweat of the Bedabin nomad's robes.

No worries Mr Computer2! I thought it was a really interesting idea! :-)

And to all of the Bedabin sweat haters - it's actually full of protein and very nutritious. Erm. So I've been told. *looks shiftily around* >_>;;

Question 2 - An evil Makeover Mage appears and casts a tranformative spell on you. You've only got time to counter one of the effects before you change forever. Would you rather:

My answer was

Keep your name - otherwise, how will I know if people are talking to me?!

Woot I'm a Timelord.

I haven't liked the past two polls, for different reasons, but it seems that the polls in the past served to better understand players interests. The previous poll was simply a trivia poll. I could have looked up the answers, but without doing that it wasn't as if I could find them out otherwise. It also doesn't tell me or Jagex much about other players. The current poll is better on that front, but is very uninformative, and the answers seem a bit one-sided.

Some useful poll questions have been things like "what do you do when you first log on?" and the like. It might also be good if the content team suggested more polls to get a vague reading on players' interests and reactions-- this might bring about better ideas, or at least help to minimise the inevitable complaints seen on the forums with any update.


But, if they can do nothing else, the polls should at least be more interesting. Trivia and impossible hypotheticals aren't really.

Some of the questions aren't exactly well thought out IMO, if we just think about it:

1) Of course I'd pay 25% of my gold coins - it's not 25% of my net worth, so I can just spend all my gold coins on items, ask them to move my stuff from one bank to the next, then sell the items quickly to get my gold coins back. Even if the items crash I won't lose 25% of my total GP, seeing as the Grand Exchange only rise/fall prices by 10%. Who knows, I might even profit vastly due to market fluctuations, if I choose my items right :P

4) Assuming the half xp thing is permanent, it's obvious that sending all exp from the highest skill to the lowest skill is the better option - after all, the skill is the highest assumbly because you're efficient at training it or because you like it alot, and the opposite apply for your lowest skill. I wouldn't mind swaping my Cooking exp with my Dungeoneering xp lol.

5) I dislike this question not just because of how disgusting it is, but there seem to be a few other options I could choose, eg rip my lips off drinking from a cactus, or die and respawn. In the other cases there really isn't a 3rd option as events are out of the player's control - though a mass riot of the bank's customers ice barraging the con-artist/s who thought up this exorbitant fees, then proceed to rob everything the bank has for messing with the adventurers of Gielinor *does* sound like a interesting 3rd option :P

Hilarious and disgusting at the same time, as someone else has said for the last question.. I agree with that! :P


Just a tiny thing about last weeks question #11, "What's good for stomping?"

Well I think both the correct answer and, "My foot when I don't get my own way!" were perfectly good answers. I voted the foot one though because I thought of it as in the in-game emote "Stomp".

I'm just curious as to whether the compiler of that question actually had the stomp emote in mind or not?

I loved these polls. They really make you think. I had to stare at my computer for 5 minutes just to answer the first question. I hope none of those ever happen X).

#1. Tough decion but i do not like pking so much so id pay the 25%of my cash.

#2. Didnt really like, I would keep my name because i made it up when i was 7 and 6 years ago playing rs it wouldnt let me get this name. It was only til a few months ago it became avaliable(which is weird since no one else had it?).

#3. Didnt like it :\. What if you only trained for like 5k xp so its not that big ofa deal. I would take the weapon to corp and own :) .

#4. Really liked this. Take my 13m from 99 wcing and give it to dunging. 99 wcing is easy to get and dunging isnt so i would love to take all my xp and given to my lowest from highest :) .

#5. Dont know what that juice is, But i dont really want old man sweat in my mouth XD.

All and all i liked this poll hope to see more of them :)

*Mod Howes, How would you answer these questions?, I think that j mods can get free stuff, so if thats true pretend your a normal player.*

Hahaha, I always sweat as though I were in a desert. Just today I wrung a pint of sweat from my shirt after getting back from a run!

I'd have to choose that over eating a bug!

Trading 98 fletching for dungeoneering would be awesome too!
