While I'm excited for Varlamore and the content polled there, question 5, concerning Kourend changes, left me feeling a bit cornered.

In general, I'm against the removal of the favour system. I understand it has become more of an early-game annoyance, but I love the lore implications and the incentive to spend real time in each region. I do believe that a re-haul and softening is needed, but if given the chance I would vote against the removal of favour in its entirety.

That being said.

I love the improved transportation methods proposal. Trailblazer Reloaded has really highlighted for me how horrid the transportation in Kourend is without Kharedst's memoirs, and it's definitely something Kourend is lacking. If given the chance, I'd vote for it.

Yet, both changes are rolled into one question. To me it almost feels like I'm being forced to accept the thing I don't like to vote yes to the thing I do like? Which I feel is hardly reasonable in a poll that only has five questions.

I voted no in any case, but I hope that, whatever outcome, we can have more input on the implementation of these proposals.

I'll come in and +1 that the polls had to many options bundled into one 'question'. Kourend's transportation network being... oof, is a definitive. Getting around efficiently requires juggling four different teleportation items (Memoirs, Talisman, Dramen Staff, Skilling Necklace. The most useful of which is the skilling necklace imo), 2 spell books, and a slot for cash for the most hyped (atleast lore wise) and yet somehow weakest option. (Seriously, the only minecart in a good place is the one next to the Arceuus Library, and with no good end destination, it's not very useful.)

I'll admit to being indifferent to the favor changes of having it removed outright. On the one hand, RiP fluff (especially Architectural Alliance.) On the other, hurray convenience!
