I would read your response, yet your broken English and poor grammar make me unable to

I'm just going to say that these high-scores bring nothing to the game, amplify existing issues even more and provide rewards that appeal to a select few individuals.

Forcing players to re-do content brings nothing new to the playing experience, fixing broken content should be a priority right now. Instead of coming up with broken and idiotic game changing concepts, Jagex should be busy bringing players back to dead content, fixing broken content and making sure that there is a stream of new players coming into the game

Ideas such as this that are not thought out correctly, and pushed by people that have no concept of what goes on in the game are not helping the game recover from it's current struggle.

Update skills, make them actually useful and spend your money for better things, not this useless crap just because you don't know how to make some of skills actually worth training.
Ty, have a good day.

Look another "I don't want to do it, so it shouldn't be here" ---- awesome, bet you were glad we didn't do that when it came to 07 scape

Look smartass, I just stated my opinion and I don't give a flying **** you'd like or not.
Have better arguments, go on, spit it out.
Results already telling what majority of people want, so you can safely go to hell.

I disagree with the current prestige system as well, and I did vote 'no' too, but you don't have to prestige. You're welcome to stay at level 99.
Next time, instead of having a big fit, give some logic and reason to your message. I'm tired of people saying "boo hoo, I'm not happy so I'm going to cry about it." If you have a problem, make sure there is good reason for it and then explain that reason. Prestige can add to the gaming experience for people with unusually high experience, but I believe it could be implemented better which is why I decided to vote 'no' in favor of the 1/3 of players who don't find it pleasing.
Again, all that I ask is that you have good reason to your complaint before you write a message that might well be overlooked because of its lack of reasoning.

Which part of my reasons you didn't understood?
It is a poll, I don't have time to write poem here.

If, as you say in your post, this is aimed at higher level accounts, why are the requirements to vote so lax?

We're going to track and analyse the patterns in the voting.

Say the vote passes, but the overwhelming majority of high level players vote against it. We'd take that into account when deciding how to implement it.
"High level players" is a rather ambiguous term, can you be a little more specific?

We will be analysing it in various ways. For example, but not limited to:
2+ 99s
Maxed
>1B XP
1+ 200M

We'll be looking to see if any of these groups have significantly differing opinions which will inform our designs.

while im completely against the resetting system, i am VERY VERY happy to see your post! it shows me that some ppl at jagex realize how much influence such updates can have on different groups of ppl and FINALLY take ppls opinion seriously! thats a very very good step into the right direction!

(im in all the mentioned groups except the 1b xp where im about 66m off, but i also got trimmed comp, so if there is any way of taking that into consideration aswell, it might be considerable to look at that too. maybe not for this update here, as it doesnt affect trimmers any more than normal compers, but for changes on trim reqs, such as the damn cw update, it would have been a VERY good choice to look at that peer group specifically!)

in general: keep going like that! thank you very much.

In short, I would like to see prestige as an addition to your actual level. Allow players to keep their current progress, but instead of capping at 99, allow a superficial continuation to leveling so they can better appreciate their hard work.

If 120 skills were to be implemented, I'd want them to work like this.

They wouldn't be a requirement for anything. Not for the Max Cape or even the Completionist's cape. Just a little extra something on the side in parenthesis that tracks xp in hypothetical levels up to 120, with possibly a true mastery cape at the end. I like the idea of being able to boost your 99 by the 'extra' levels as well; just a slight bonus that would really only be useful in Dungeoneering.

It'd be an extra skilling opportunity for maxed players without being significant to the game itself or lasting as an indefinite goal.

I like this.

sad that those who don't want to do a 99 all over again are standing in the way of those who do even though they don't HAVE to use this content.

I don't work on skills for rank, I work on them for fun or if they are requirements.

sometimes fun skills are more fun when theres a real goal rather than aimlessly training for no reason.

I will be voting yes as this update is a good idea, perhaps better than putting in lvl 120 skills.

one thing I would like to see though is some in-game item to show what prestige you are, such as a new form of skillcape.

this would be ideal for those who want to compete in skills.

You can't fix the economy, only players and merchanters can do this.

Even this update won't make a difference only for 1 week max cuz players invent in items for this update, 1 week later they all dump it back again and everything will crash.

Ferenc2017

Directed at the first line: not true. Merchenters make their money off of buying low and selling high, which is inherently destabilizing. Many players just sell at market value, since either way it's 100% profit.

As for the second paragraph, I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say. Could you retype that? A Zamorakian lorehound, probably.

I don't even see how they need a poll to understand that the majority of runescape players do not want this.

If some people absolutely want to grind a skill to 99 all over again, make a new account.

This prestige system was EXCELLENT, the problem is these selfish idiots will never vote for a prestige system unless it in someway incorporates the current XP they had already made, toward it.

I'm such an selfish idiot that I'd have even voted "no" if all my current XP would count towards the system and I'd get a start bonus of 10k prestige right away.

If 75% of playership should votes "yes", then it's ok. It would show that 75% of players focus on getting xp in their skills beyond the level 99 cap, and that gathering xp and being able to show the results via highscore ranks is what playing Runescape means to them.

But if the poll shows there is no such majority, then it might be sensefull to think about what the reasons to play for this majority of players voting "no" are, and to look how to add content supporting these reasons. This would help more than calling others names just cause they have a different opinion.

Best regards,
Mace

Sorry I shouldn't have have combined the 2 titles I used. Selfish those who don't want to chase XP, so nobody should ... and Idiots, that was the term to described the many comments in the prestige forum that were saying no because of (insert false, inaccurate, I never even read it comment here) ....

They said they are intent on making this system one way or another, so maybe providing accurate feed back as to what they can do to improve the system rather then "I don't wanna" .....

Lastly, lets act as if the poll reflects the minority the content is aimed at? They are trying to make a system that will fix the ranking system in the high scores..

Does the majority of the player base care about ranks? Of course not.... That's a majority of the No's right there.

DO the high Ranking players want to sacrifice their XP already made? Of course not

I voted for prestige. As it is now there is no true high scores (only the I got there first scores). Without any form of competition, the high scores are truly invalid. I didn't agree with the xp over 99 not being counted, but also see that this xp (earned at higher rates) would give a huge advantage if added to prestige directly.

I'm against raising the level cap to 120. I feel that this would slow down future game content that is much loved by many in the community. I personally would rather see new quests, mini-game, bosses...etc., than content designed to give better xp rates on the road to 120 in each skill.

I'm very close to to 99 in all skills, and see no use in training past 99 (or 120 in the case of dungeoneering) because, as I said before, the high scores system is flawed. If the high scores are fixed, and those at the top truly have to still compete with each other to stay there, then my opinion may change.

I respect the time taken to reach 200m xp in a skill, but as someone I loved says, "To be the best, you have to beat the best." First there doesn't truly count as being the best, only first.

Ty, have a good day.

It is a poll, I don't have time to write poem here.

I thought I was pretty clear, however I will further clarify why you have no reasoning to your post. Do keep in mind that I still voted 'no' to the poll as well.
I'm sorry, I don't have time to babysit you, so I'll keep it brief.

I voted NO because this is useless and adds nothing to gaming experience.
Incorrect. This provided solution to the 200M experience cap and allows further progress for high-level players and players near or at the 200M experience cap.

Replaying same levels over and over again? lol?
There are people with alts who re-achieve some of the lower levels. There are also some people who have a 99 on multiple alts. There are people with 120 dungeoneering and people with 200M experience. So people will essentially use the system.

Update skills, make them actually useful and spend your money for better things, not this useless crap just because you don't know how to make some of skills actually worth training.
This 'useless' crap fixed a few limitations to the game, opens possible opportunities to future development, etc. It is not 'useless' and, while I think refining skills would be better, they can make this as good or better if they give it enough time and consideration to fit the demand of the majority of players.

Again, please include good reason to a rant before you post. I do appreciate it, thanks.
