I have to say this is getting more entertaining by the day.
Here's my opinion. I've been playing since late 04.. I have max total. I have 940m total xp and 200m cooking (which I enjoyed training dearly) I like the idea of this whole prestige thing, even if my 200m cook was reset back to 1 and I wouldn't be gaining any extra "total" xp for it I would probly still do it.. however, I had to vote no simply because of the fact.. its a decent idea with potential but it is not even 1% ready to be released.
I feel if it did come out that it should NOT replace the original highscores.. after all which one was there first? It's been the primary highscores table many many people check daily to compare with others, I don't see why that should have to change because of prestige. Having it as a secondary highscores table in it's own section would be ideal, and honestly that's pretty easy to do, and probly wouldn't even be a problem with anyone voting yes OR no.
I couldn't see myself prestiging every 99 all over again unless there was a serious reward for it. Some skills I would love to prestige even if it meant nothing but the highscore rank, but some skills I just wouldn't even touch because redoing it over again for the potential rewards offered so far (which isn't much is there?) just isn't worth it to me to invest that much of my time again, especially if it's not as enjoyable a second time around.
So I feel like it could work, but serious stuff needs to be worked out among Jagex and the Rs Community aswell, and I'm sure that will take more then just a few weeks.
SO.. until then my vote is no. One thing I can't stand is new content with a bunch of flaws being released. That's just how I feel though. As for everyone else complaining about the results.. that's what a vote is.. everyone votes for their own needs and wants, not for others, unfortunately, but that's the human race for ya.
In conclusion: Good idea, nowhere near ready. Looking forward to what you'll do Jagex.
