Should We Reduce the Number of Worlds? (2014 Poll)

Question 1 of 1
Would you prefer to reduce the number of game worlds to choose from when playing RuneScape, or would you prefer to keep them as they are? We are proposing to remove 26 worlds out of 121 total.

As I mentioned before and it is seen in many polls, EVERYONE has different likes and dislikes, so don't assume that because you like or want something, that the whole rs community agrees with you.

What do these polls have to do with any of the discussion here?

People are upset because:

1.Jagex is trying to both increase the membership price *and* keep pushing MTX even more, even though Jagex has reported record profits; they don't need to do this. They're doing perfectly fine as is. > )

2. Jagex still hasn't delivered many of the updates they promised, and is trying to make more promises with this "damage control".

3. You can't pay for only the membership you need; two games need their own memberships, and a package deal can be given on top, not forced.

pretty interesting poll results. Now the question is what is expected? what can be done? and how much time will it take to release it without the well known bugs and issues that the community has seen over the years.
My take: I rather more people get hired, the job gets done right and it is released with no issues. You think a community that has experienced so much issue with buggy release would appreciate them taking the time to get it done right, test it and test it and test it till it's perfect. You cant have it both ways record time of release (even if dates were promised- that just means they hit snags and found them before release) and then cry because it is not functioning to it's expectations. Sorry if you don't like my common sense approach to Jagex and their actions.
It may not always be what I envision or hoped for but I will continue to support something i enjoy during my FREE time. No one forces me to be a Runescape Member it is everyone's FREE will to stay or go. This my 2 cents and I already know most of you disagree with me and don't like my posts and that's fine.

Because of the constant complaining of Content Past to Future, likes or dislikes of Content wanted and most of all the Prices of worthiness

and that's all I am going to reply to this message

lastly NO ONE is required to buy Treasure Hunter or Runecoins. STOP bringing it into the conversation. Those are Personal Choices not requirements.
The only requirement to Play ALL of Rs content is MEMBERSHIP and the choice of Payment is yours.

Often we get both delays and bugs, regardless of the time taken to "test it and test it and test it till it's perfect". If Jagex doesn't want people criticizing them missing on deadlines, how about learning to either not give deadlines, or to play safe and make the deadlines longer? You can still release the update earlier if it gets done earlier, but taking longer than the deadline is unacceptable, considering that they have so much experience by now to know better than to give too short deadlines. > )

MTX (namely TH) still negatively affects your game experience, regardless of whether you buy into it or not (and it is intentionally designed to lure you into buying it). It devalues endgame moneymaking methods, it forces people who pay membership with gp (bonds) to work more for their membership, it crashes the prices of resources etc. Everyone is affected in one (or more) way(s) or another, key buyer or not. Not to mention that, like said many times before, Jagex has reported record profits thanks to all that MTX; they don't need to increase the membership price, as they're doing perfectly fine as they are .

Membership and no TH, or TH and no membership. Pick one option, Jagex.

I'm essentially going to reiterate what I quoted you on last time.

You have every right to be optimistic, or hopeful for the future. That's your right. Nobody can take that from you.

To that same effect though, others have the right to disagree with this price increase based upon the track record that we have seen. If this price increase leads to better quality content, that's fantastic, most of us, however, feel that we won't. Proportionate to the amount that we are paying for membership, we will be getting less per dollar than we already are.

Menaphos, as an example, was something that was incessantly touted as the next big revolution to RuneScape. What we got is a dead city, a hollow shell of something that could have been interesting, and nothing more than a task set filled with one giant time sink in order to unlock basic commodities such as banks and tiered quests locked behind repetition grinds every which way you look at it. To me, Menaphos brought two things worth the update it took:
Sophanem slayer dungeon, and quicker access to sophanem.
Even that, though is locked behind feather of ma'at time sink (i'm yet to actually find someone that finds shifting tombs to be anything more than a nuisance, myself included) or paywall.

When it comes to TH, RuneCoins, MTX in general; the issue is how regular updates for MTX are, but week in and week out, we get lackluster game updates. Moreover, the MTX are constantly pushed in your face. announcements on the main page. images on the marquee, pop-ups in game "LOOK NEW TREASURE HUNTER", and even "LOOK 40% MORE KEYS WHEN YOU SPEND $100".
