Even though the poll isn't for RS3, it shows what would happen on RS3 too; OSRS started out with the premise that all holiday rewards would always be brought back each year, and the playerbase was fine with it because it was made clear from the start. Now though, you can see OSRS demonstrating what happens when you pick the option of always re-releasing the rewards: people get bored of them. Who cares about them when they're always brought back and their value goes back to zero? As someone who has played both games, I've seen that even though OSRS players hate RS3 in many ways, there's one thing the majority of them still respect RS3 for: having discontinued items like partyhats, bunny ears etc which are actually meaningful because they're discontinued. > )
I'm currious here, what if some of these older rewards were to be brought back but only purchable with Loyalty Points? It should slow the surge of old items flowing back in a bit because it's restricted to members only as well as people saving for something else? Or am I wrong here?
Problem is that loyalty points aren't so much about loyalty anymore, now that Jagex has sold them instantly for when you buy premier club membership, with gold premier basically dumping a truckload of them for you, and who knows, they might sell them in other ways in the future as well if this continues.
But I thought about it some more and here's what I came up:
1. Introduce a new currency, let's say "holiday points" to give it a name.
2. For every year of membership that you've exhausted, you gain a holiday point.
3. During the respective holiday, once you've completed that year's version of the holiday event, you're able to buy alternate versions of that type of holiday's discontinued rewards with your holiday point(s).
IMO this would be a good balance and make you truly consider what you want the most. > )
