Why do you even respond to my posts if you don't read them? I already told you before that the much more recent (4 years more up-to-date) poll in OSRS demonstrates that the vast majority are fine with untradeable discontinued holiday items, and tradeable ones would've been very close to passing as well (0,4% difference), . But because it was an information gathering poll, not even 100% support in favor for discontinued holiday items would've changed anything in the game, yet that makes no difference in displaying what people care about (hence the information gathering part).



Jagex may be incompetent in many things, but with polling they've learned a few things; with the loyalty point poll they realized that a majority smaller than 75% still leaves room for plenty of controversy, and that requiring 75% yes means that your idea that you're polling is much more thought-out than if you accepted any majority. And by making the OSRS poll for information gathering only, they avoided the tradeable discontinued items from failing as an actual poll, which would've been harder to repoll had it been an actual poll.

But it did: for an OSRS poll (an actual poll, not an information gathering poll) to pass, it must not reach 25% or more "no" votes. Untradeable discontinued holiday items received 23,9% votes against, so if the poll had been an actual poll, it would have passed. Tradeable discontinued holiday items received 25,4% votes against, so they would've failed by 0,4%, but nonetheless one type of discontinued items would have been added to the game if it came down to the votes and not a technicality of the poll not being an actual poll.

If only you read this with thought, you'd understand, because numbers don't lie, Jagex simply chose to do nothing like it did with the loyalty point poll result. Only difference is that first time (loyalty point poll) Jagex learned through error, while the second time (OSRS poll) they knew to be careful in advance thanks to the first.
