um the vote passed you dont know what ur talking about it in no way got shot down dude, dont know where you came up with that fantasy...so getting back on topic they need to just re-realease the items into the shop like everyone wanted as per the poll
He's probably referring to the fact that Jagex decided to negate the outcome of the poll, since they realized that 50% threshold to pass is too low and controversial to be suitable, which is why they now use the 75% threshold, not only to ensure that there's an actual clear majority in favor, but also that there aren't too many people that would get upset by it. Remember that it's much easier to vote yes to something, because even if someone doesn't care about the potential outcome of the poll personally, they'll probably see it as "oh well, I might as well vote yes, since I don't see why I shouldn't" if they don't know about the bigger picture of the situation, as Jagex doesn't explain on the poll itself why you'd want to vote either way. On the other hand, people voting against are doing so because they know the whole picture, and they see something resulting from it that could possibly even make them quit. Players voting in favor are much more unlikely to quit if their option doesn't pass, since the game has to please them already for them to even bother voting, and since nothing would change for the worse if their option failed to pass.
Also, like said before, the loyalty point poll is dated, whereas the OSRS polls are very recent; the latter showed that a community, which has both been a part of a game that has had discontinued items for years, and a part of a game that hasn't had discontinued items for years, prefers discontinued items, no doubt because that makes them much more interesting than if the game was constantly flooded with them. The RS3 community doesn't have the same experience, so there are people ignorantly voting yes.
