Can you pin the poll newspost, like the "missing, presumed death one"?

Chances are several won't see it if you're going to let it drop below SoF newsposts and possibly off the front page.

As a long time player that was here in the days that the front page of the high scores had only four people at 99, or as the case for agility and some other stats no 99s, I believe it would honestly be the best way to go about fixing the max level issue inside the game.

This is a optional system. The only other real alternative to this problem is to increase stats. By increasing stats you are more so forcing people to train to access new content instead of the prestige system which is, again, optional.

I personally do not have time to no life 14 hours a day like I did for years as a kid just to keep my favorite stats high as possible. However, I could slowly work prestige or it is there for others. The high scores being frozen is just stupid and undermines the entire reason people used to play.

I always thought RS was the best leveling/grindy game for people that likes that niche in game play. 200M and the current high score set up abolishes that for those that have already reached the cap. The prestige system is the best way to address this and Jagex should in all honesty implement it regardless of the vote. It is what is best for the game.

I highly doubt RS will ever be a game you turn to and go "Wow, these bosses are amazing and it takes so much skill to PvP." No, we have other games for that. Jagex needs to maintain it's niche in the market first and foremost before trying to gain ground in other areas that are much more competitive.

So TLDR; Prestige is ultimately the best thing for the game. It makes RuneScape what RuneScape always was until too many people maxed. And most of all, this comes from someone who will probably never level it up.

A bit late for the year of the p l ayer to start isn't it?

On topic, I voted no to possibly delay the $of promo planned for prestige. I also voted no because I have no doubts it'd be very buggy. Recently, most content with a release date has come out as polished as an essay written by a teen that procrastinated until the morning it was due.

I would like the unique titles and emotes, yes, but this needs some thought, and it also needs some serious discussion with the players on the rs forums , not just the ones on social media sites.

LOL...the reasons for voting no just keep getting dumber and dumber. This is kinda entertaining in a sad way though.

Tired of of this argument it took more work from the first players: FALSE!! Botting was unchecked and rampant, currently players are forced to be legitimate (more so then before) due to bot watch--

This would allow current active players, to compete indefinitely against each other --- Nice try

I was going to refrain from posting while the vote was in process, but I have watched you troll and insult everyone who takes the time to express and substantiate their opinions on the topic of prestige across many threads.

I and my long time friends have not botted any XP. We are not gambling hosts who will be the big winners if prestige is added, and we are not part of the 40% who bought GP from 3rd part RWT sites. We have all played legitimately and, by the way, earned much of our XP before the high xp rates that had to be added for whiners like you. None of us have 200 mil XP in any skill but all of us have at least one or two level 99's that we have taken well past 13 mil XP because we like the skills. We don't just buy a 99 and race through it as fast as we can. Why do your and your kind deserve to be ranked ahead of us?

If I choose not to compete with wannabees that need an unfair advantage to pass me and then brag about how they worked harder than me, why should I have to he listed in the prestige high scores.

I do not want to see your prestige 1 lvl w 13.05 mil total XP listed above my prestige 0 lvl 99 49 mil total XP.

The question is why you have to be so insulting to everyone and why being artificially ranked over someone with far more XP than you is so important?

I bet you enjoy grief killing penguin hunters to get you PK total up too.

You are pathetic and continue to show just how pathetic with every flaming post.

You are rude and insulting, but please keep posting. You are doing more to generate NO votes than you can possibly imagine.

Also how is this gonna bring people back? if anything it just extends the life of the game and will make some people want to no-life the game even more than they do so just for rewards that may not even be that good... Lost Woods numba 1, (NOT EE, Those scrubs are liars ;p)

Also, I voted "no" because once you get 200m xp in a skill your name is cemented in the highscores for that skill for history. Why take that away from those who have worked so hard?

It won't be taken away, the dev blog said there would be an additional highscore. It will not be simply replaced. Completionist cape owner as of 14/10/2015 :)

The old hiscores will stay...did you even read and understand prestige before voting? And anyway you cant take that 200m hiscore with you when you quit or die...so grow up and get over it already.
