What moronic buffoon put this survey together? Having indicated that I don't play any games other than Runescape, I am required to indicate how I play these games that I don't play.
FAIL
On the question regarding what types of games I've played for more than 10 hours in the last year (or however long) there is no option for 'none'. Please update this, not all of us have time for multiple games. Thanks!
Thank you Jagex for listening to your players so we can have a better outcome.
This said, I must comment 2 problems I encountered at the survey.
Next time you make a survey that long I would appretiate a disclaimer at the start of the survey that could say
"You can close this survey at any time and continue it any moment before the ending date, as every page of answers is saved when you click on Next to go the following one"
. And I say this because I had to end the survey too late, later than I wished to only because I had no clue if that was possible and I feared that if I closed my survey at some point and open it to continue the next day or 2 days after all my answers to that cuestion could have been lost. Also I didn't knew how many cuestion there was, so I couldn't estimated well how much time would it take and it took me longer than 20 mins (as the survey said it would), maybe because I cared about the answers and thought them well. I still don't know today if I could have closed it and resume it today.
The second issue is about the list of game generes that you provide at question 39 (if I recall correctly) and some of the following ones to specify what kind of games we like and what kind of new game we would like to have.
You totally missed a new kind of games that started to be developed not so many years ago, because the kind of action-adventure video games like Batman Arkham were at the list but not games like Telltales does, like Batman telltales game, wich is a Graphic adpoint-and-click graphic adventure where you have to choose between different decisions and speaches and that have consecuences and changes your personal game story and ending of the game.
Awesome games! It's not the same to develop your own personaliced story rather than playing a plain unalterable story with a lot more killing and combat interaction. For me Telltale games are the best kind of games and that option was not at the list!
By the way, when you asked "what is your favourite game" I remember that you said something like "do not write the name of a game series" or something like that.
So, did you wanted us to provide the name of a specific game inside a serie of games (for example Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood or Assassin's Creed: Revelations), or did you wanted us to provide only a generic name like Assassin's Creed instead?
Or you didn't wanted any game that has series inside it at all?
i tried to do the survey but unfortunately it wont let me to complete it because I don't do other games on pc etc .there was no way around the fact that I couldn't fill that bit in, no none of the above button so that I could complete the survey
No good can come from collecting racial information. It is no factor of a personality, culture is but that is radically more complicated than races. It will lead to more biased humans at Jagex. Consider the alternative of asking in which language the player plays, perhaps after deleting the appropriate data column.

Still not asking the important questions in the survey. Your still pushing 3 different games with 3 different game play styles into a single game.
How many games allow direct cross play between the mobile version and PC/Console version?
Fortnite is the only one that comes to mind. How ever it is a very simple video game. And then they basically had to rebuild the entire interface to allow mobile users to play. But even after all of that against PC or Xbox they are still at a massive disadvantage. The only even playing field is one mobile user vs another mobile user.
Ark Surivial Evolved is an actually complex video game that goes beyond just point and shoot. Their mobile version can not cross play with PC or console just with other mobile users. The reason being they had to simply and dumb down a lot of the game to allow it to work on a mobile device. Making it cross play would require them to dumb down and simply the game on console and PC.
RS mobile would be fine if it was a separate game or simply limited to just training non combat skills because that is fairly basic simple stuff. But they push combat as well being viable. That requirement starts to need content to be dumbed down to allow someone on their smart phone or tablet to participate. All new content will need to take the mobile users into account and while bosses might be bypassed with that bosses are not the all combat and skills in the game.
I'm a big entropy fan.
