Unfortunately, it's out of my hands now.

It's up to the community, and then Jagex again... and then the community again.
Repeat.

But, you'll see eventually, man.
As much as I don't want it to happen... it will.

It's an extra option that allows the game to feel different. Once implemented, it allows for people to say 'well this should just be permanent' and then JaGex do a poll on that, and 75% is achieved again, making it affect everybody.

Not sure if the people loving this poll were around back when RS was actually OSRS, but this is the exact pattern that occurred. And it all ended up at EOC.

If you love all of these options that make the game easier to play than snakes and ladders, then please do go back to EOC. This game was brought back because this was a time at which things were enjoyable!

Don't forget what you're doing with these polls.

You currently have 100% playing, and generally happy.
You're going to accept votes @ 75% yes which will split
25% of the community off. Maybe they'll just be upset, or mad, but many like myself, will quit.
So now you're down to 75%. But, each different vote will cut off a few more and a few more and a few more people.
So after poll one you're already going to be back in a situation where 50% of the community is all: "All yeaaahh! Yay I'm part of this half and I'm happy!"
and you have the other half of the community that's angry as hell at you, and the OSRS community. Good fight... it's now the EOC community situation that you've been in for many years.


So... yeah.
I suppose if the goal is to widdle off people so that in 6 months, an additional membership fee can be added, then yeah, this will work.
But meh. Oh well.

Just my opinions I guess.
I know all but one of my close friends will be quitting pending the vote ending, giving approval to several updates. I suppose this still isn't as bad as EA, though.

These aren't even content updates.. If small additions like these that don't even affect your gameplay want to make you quit, then please, with all due respect, **** off already, because obviously some changes are to be made.

Like I've just mentioned, this is just the beginning. The more updates that are implemented, the more we head towards EOC.

Then I guess they've done everything about EOC correctly and we should be ashamed of ourselves for our constant bitching about every single update.

Small changes that begin the destruction of the Oldschool Feel and workings of the game.

It will slowly become more and more like a badly made private server that markets itself as "Oldschool" but has mixed content from across time.

Whats wrong with some UI interaction updates? Its better for users if interaction with the game is made easier. They aren't adding anything that will get rid of the old school feel, just making your interaction to bank things and reply to messages easier, which i for one think is needed. You only need to worry when they add things that we as players believe made runescape worse, and that's when we vote NO*

** :D R - Your reading too much into this, this current vote is just making interaction easier.

Voted "Yes" to all except Easter which I voted "No" for. All I see is updates that should just be mandatory with the potential exception of the single click bank option one. I really can't believe players are voting "No" on the Unids being changed to "Grimy" though.

Edit: I'm also speechless at the ignorance on page 2.
