I keep seeing in this thread people saying that there needs to be some sort of end game, I thought this was an mmorpg how can it have an end game when it gets updated almost every week, it had one new skill added this year and another on the way, either way you look at it new stuff is always coming so why do some of you think this game has/needs an end game im curious to know.
Not so much in the sense of the entirety of the game but something to work towards so you can say ok awesome yes I finally completed such and such achievement. It's hard to work towards something when it is never ending, when there is no finish line so it can possibly drain the motivation to train.

New content is new content, a new thing to work towards for completion, this is arguably just doing the same thing you just "completed" over and over again.

To the morons saying that the poll is rigged with "no" votes from people who don't understand the plan behind prestige, check again.

Each of us is entitled to their opinion, while some of us think of basic things, others thing ahead and want to avoid serious damage to the game they "pay to play".

The majority votes no, with reason. There are more negative effects for this endless grinding compared to increasing the level cap and xp cap so players can join even further gameplay experience, raising the level cap and adding new methods of training for even greater xp and also doubling the xp cap to 400m, it would give maxed players to grind towards the new xp cap with these methods.

You idiots wanting this prestige system to get added by force is the same crap as brute forcing EOC into runescape when it was not necessary, it forced a good portion of the players to leave because they felt the game was turning into the wrong path, and again it is. New cap = more USEFULL content, prestige system = more USELESS cosmetics, you can gtfo with those.

There should never be a prestige system for leveling, and in-fact a prestige system would work the same way as boosting both xp and level caps in all skills, i don't see why people are whining about "more higher level content for those that no life". Well guess what? NOBODY CARES AND YOU AREN'T FORCED TO GET 120 IN A SKILL EITHER IN ORDER TO ENHOY THIS GAME.

I've been playing runescape since late 2006, and i never got a 99 in my life, the time i spent playing this game was worth at least 2 maxed characters, see how much i care about maxing out (my average level is around 80 or so)? I can enjoy the game by leveling up everything little by little, beating a requirement one at a time, if i hit the top, i would think "time to quit because there is no point on grinding anymore". Increasing the cap to 120 and adding new insane xp methods to level up would justify why a player like me shoul

I voted No, as I see the creation of Prestige as an invitation for Jagex to create new content, especially quests, requiring Prestige to get the most value out of it. Since that pretty much wipes out the idea of an upper bound, I've come to think of it as an innocuous idea which can only become truly hideous with the passage of time.

EDIT: I also think it would hinder the development of new skills or other content. I would rather have to scroll through 100 skills than train the same 25 (and Dungeoneering) over and over again.

Please... just No.

I'm still open to being convinced otherwise, in an academic way, but I doubt that anyone can make a truly convincing argument, and my vote has been cast. Thank you. [Graphics] Drivers Wanted.

Although I liked the idea of prestige, still a no vote.
Why?
Simple, lets say you got 200m xp, suddenly turned useless. Just make the exp shown on this current hs list as the total of, xp in no prestige+ xp in all prestiges together, capped at 200m.
With how the update was supposed to be, everyone had to do prestiege and keep doing it to stay in the top 50 of the hs list.

I voted against prestige. (And yes I have read many pros, cons, and opinions) I don't think its necessary to add this.

I really think Jagex needs to focus on the lower to mid-level players. (I'm a high level)
If we kill the game for them we have no future. Literally our free players and newest is
what keeps this game alive and ensures its successful future. (You can't continue your family name without children to take it) The prestige system would affect them the most I beleive, and possibly drive alot of players to quit. Paying or not.

on the poll i had put no, but i am open to the idea. for instance lets say i got 100m in attack exp. if it were to automatically be prestige 3 then the people who have been going for 200m exp or already gotten that wouldn't feel like they've wasted their time.
of course this is only for those players who choose to use their current exp for prestige and not for the 200m (a one time choice).
