As many of you are aware poll #2 offered the runescape community some great game changers. One question polled, however, did not pass! And I think I know exactly why. In red you'll find the question that was polled, and what i'm going to discuss.

Players will be permitted to return to Ape Atoll without claiming the Defence XP reward of the Monkey Madness quest, allowing pures to attempt the monkey chapter of Recipe for Disaster.
Yes - 61% (46548 votes)
No - 39% (29146 votes)

Firstly, the question offers two rewards as opposed to just one. And! I think had this question been worded differently it would've easily passed with a supermajority. The question offers permission to return to Ape Atoll without taking the XP reward offered by Daero WHILST allowing pures to attempt the monkey chapter for rfd. I think this question should have just polled offering access to ape atoll, and not the latter. I honestly believe that if the question had been polled without allowing pures to attempt the monkey chapter of RFD this poll would have easily passed.

I find it quite silly if anyone disagrees with me on this one, when pures do have access to Ape atoll, ONLY if they do not have to finish the quest. Therefore, their isn't really any explicit reason why anyone shouldn't be able to access Ape Atoll considering they've made an accomplishment by finishing the quest.

So, here is the only thing i'm asking. I'm asking for this to be re-polled with only one reward. It should probably go something like this, "Players will be permitted to return to Ape Atoll without claiming the Defence XP reward of the Monkey Madness quest, but will NOT permit 'pures' to attempt the monkey chapter of Recipe for Disaster."

I think it's a great idea, and if anyone disagrees with me i'd love to know why. All I'm asking is for a second chance on this poll, without increased access to the monkey chapter in the RFD quest for pures.

What Lies Below Quest Reward

The quest features "Dagon'hai" strongly. During the quest, players read about the history of Dagon'hai and encounter NPC's that appear to be wearing the intimidating Dagon'hai robes - a piece of armour featured in the main game with its use unlocked through completion of this quest and the corresponding miniquest, Hunt for Surok; however, to limit development effort, chaos tunnels need not be implimented to the game, although the introduction of a new boss monster, Bork, would prove beneficial to the PvM community of 07 (with drops yielding no significant effect on the economy). With all the hype about Dagon'hai, the action in this quest seems to rise towards some Dagon'hai-related reward. **In light of this, releasing Dagon'hai robes to the game seems suitable (with respect to official stat. requirements, of course) and would relieve the anti-climatic nature of the quest, while benefitting the PvP community such as pures, as a "light" addition to combat undetrimental to the fairness of PKing, nor the economy.

Please consider some of the points I have made as some general basis for ANY updates that could be made in the future. :)

Thanks

"Should the option be added for the middle mouse button to be used to rotate the camera as well as the arrow keys?"

I recommend adding the middle mouse button to rotate camera option that exists in the main RS game. I know there was already a poll that failed on this topic, but I believe that there is no reason at all why this fantastic feature should not be in OSRS.

Also, I think that poll probably only failed because at the time the mindset on OSRS players was much more stubbornly focused on staying as close to the 2007 version of RS as possible, now that people are asking for GWD, many other usability options have successfully been added via polls, even rares are being reintroduced, I think the poll on the middle mouse button to rotate camera option may well succeed.

Aside from the poll issue I think this feature should absolutely be added in any case as there is no practical downside, and the advantage of adding this very simple feature is enormous. It allows the player to perform most in game tasks aside from chatting by using only the mouse and with no need to use a second hand on the keyboard.

Thank you for your time,
