That's all theory, mind you, but it is strikingly in line with the personalities, tactics, and goals of each god involved.
I recognize that such accusations about Saradomin strike a particular nerve with you Padomenes, but do try to realize that doing so was not my intention when starting this analysis.

I agree that the first God Wars happened because it was a case of right place right time (or wrong place wrong time if you don't like wars). Events built up to a point where the Zarosian empire would fall and its fall encouraged warmongering among its neighbors.
I think this highlights in a way my issue with the 5th age questlines. It's not actually fair to say that there was nothing going on at the time that could prove the needed instability to start the wars. Unfortunately all those questlines got left in the 5th age so that pretty much every issue and threat Gielinor faced was resolved by the start of the 6th age (even if Jagex hasn't released all the quests to show
how
they will be resolved). So the 6th age started with a completely blank slate with no easy means of getting the ball rolling again.
"The greatest endeavors are achieved because of their selfless intent"
-Well there is the supposed battle that is for The Heart.
-There is still the battle for the Godsword to be resolved.
-Asgarnia is still a giant mess.
-Saradomin is off chasing delusions of Zombie Centaurs which I think will cheerfully munch his army.
-The Godless have supposedly been disrupting things to stop any war from spilling over into a full blown Godwar all while trying to get rid of the gods and have them gone permanently.
-The Kinshra are poised to prove the Sara side set hem up and were the wrongdoers.
-The Guthixian Army (The Void Knights) is still at war though supposedly on a final push and has been since the 5th Age. Them coming home and finding that mess with zombie centaurs eating people could really put the cat amongst the pigeons.
-Kandrain has the Ascension dungeon and a recently settled conflict as well as the Fremennik which recently reunified with the Lunar Isles.
-And the Vampyres can finely cross the Salve, they won't be hungry for blood but that would not stop them from fighting for the homelands protection. have something like my To The Manor Born idea along with actual True Born Vyrelings (and not a fraud) that need protection and I think people will find that will not stop the vamps from being some what homicidally protective of True Born children.
The ingredients are all there it just needs the right spark in Asgarnian, right in the middle of things, and we could have a flash fire that quickly spreads out of control.
The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!

In my opinion, I think the "hyped up" part is what we all mistake as "it will happen." The second gods war never happened, plus if this is considered as it, remind yourself that dialogues states that it isn't. (MPD, Juna's statement on Bandos' death. ect) These are just considered gods battles. We were all hyped up, or some of us were because we WANTED to see it, we wanted to log in and see a continuing battle between the gods, every location has a new pop up of battles. A lot of us wanted to be able to see the Zarosian try to reclaim a kingdom they lost, or the Saradominists do the same. All this because we wanted to witness what a gods war was like.
Like Solanumtinkr said: "-The Godless have supposedly been disrupting things to stop any war from spilling over into a full blown Godwar all while trying to get rid of the gods and have them gone permanently." This might be something that happens off screen/quest/knowledge. Remember, anything can trigger the gods war, it is only a matter of time before it does, where we then get to see even (maybe) Vorago duke it out when needed, as he has become more aware of their danger.

Not anymore, we added a new enchantment that would prevent them from doing that.

Actually, true born vampyres can cross the salves, their nature will be greatly altered when they do, making them less violent and hungry.
Blood born are the ones that cannot cross, because if they do they will be turned back into humans.
