in fact old school polled about making new disconuinted holiday items and well it failed as expected, the runescape community clearly doesnt want holiday items to be discontiuned anymore or ever in either rs2 or rs3 as seen on multiple polls.
Umm, have you even seen the old school's poll? Not only did Jagex clearly state the poll was for "gathering information only" (corporate translation: reviewing the opinions of OSRS players on the subject, to see how they should approach with adding discontinued items to OSRS), but even if they were final polls, untradeable discontinued items would have technically passed, while tradeable discontinued items would have almost passed. Here, I'll even list the numbers for you:
For untradeable discontinued items, only 23.9% disagreed with the idea (that's less than the 25% needed to prevent a poll from passing).
For tradeable discontinued items, 25.4% disagreed with the idea, so the poll would've failed to pass by 0.4%, which is very close if you ask me. Significantly closer than the "holiday items for loyalty points" poll had Jagex used the 75% threshold with it as well.
For both these polls, had they used the same rules as the "holiday items for loyalty points" did back then, they would've passed too.
And again, mind you, these are votes from players who have played a game with no discontinued items; it's a clear sign of the playerbase realizing that without any such items, it takes away from the holiday events, by discouraging participation and making the rewards much less meaningful than if they were discontinued. (Plus like I explained earlier about people wanting merchants to invest into optional cosmetics, rather than useful items like endgame weapons.) > )
