Have the Bandosians been forgotten? In this post we can see more to what The World Guardian sees as being Bandosian. There is more to just being dumb and warlike. There is an ideal behind being strong and fighting for what you believe. Yes, I know what being Bandosian means though, I am not trying to make it look pretty. There was hope in this dialogue for Bandosian content in future, perhaps. That seems to be dying and I prefer not to be the last Bandosian out there who actually cared about Bandos as a character. I would hate to see the potential of the Bandosian faction also go to waste. In regards to recent Guthixian butterflies, we are constantly reminded by Guthix's death. Divination, shrine in Falador, and his memorial north west of Eagles' peak are examples.

Will Bandos ever get future content? Is there hope for Bandosians to have a voice in future quests? Will we ever get some treat because of his death, similar to Guthix? I am looking for ideas that bring hope to us as a faction, and at the minimum support to not be forgotten and left behind. We are unfinished business.

Also, a sign of hope by Mod Raven on Reddit (20180322):

Zanik, you know that I had to do that to uphold the ideals of Bandos.

Yes, he is dead, but his message remains. It echoed loud and clear when Armadyl took up his mace; the strong rule and the weak fall.

If I am insane it is because, rather than use my strengths for myself all the time, I use it to shield the weak.

You know what, Zanik, I am sick of people telling me I am insane for following Bandos.

Bandos represented strength. The strength I gained following his ideal helped me save your people. The strength I gained from following him helped me save the world more than once.

Maybe in doing so I am trying to justify the mountain of bodies I have climbed to get this strong. Maybe I do it because it pits me against stronger foes. Who knows?

All I know is that I am sick to my back teeth of hearing that being Bandosian is terrible from someone whose entire race would be rotting in their graves. If I hadn't chosen to use my strength to protect them.

I personally loved it, and it felt so right to finally have my character speak in a way I have felt for so long by following Bandos. Being the World Guardian and yet following Bandos, I felt very satisfied reading this dialogue while questing.
