Do you mean Old School polling system or what? Please specify this before I respond. Cheers!

I was talking about RS3, because I know they stopped doing 50% yes threshold polls in favor of 75% yes. Regarding OSRS, I haven't followed its progress as closely in the past, so I'm not sure, but I assume it's always been with 75% yes threshold.

You cut the last sentence of the quote away. Prioritising braggers' ability to brag over the fun of the community is not responsible.

Sorry, I would've run out of space and have had to make another post just for that.

Nothing changes though: unless something specifically obligates you to "share the fun", you are not responsible to do so. You can if you want to and if have no obligation not to, but you don't need to.

In the case of Jagex and partyhats, there is nothing that obligates them to rerelease them in RS3. In OSRS they're obligated because they said they would, and since it was made clear from the start, people accept it there. It's a design decision: both ways work, but once you pick one, you gotta stick to it; otherwise, people won't accept it.

But, Blackwing, why do you want to change the topic into a discussion of "obligation" ?

You were speaking of "obligation" and "responsibility" and "addiction," and the problem of "addiction" is a very serious one.

Seriously, each person is responsible for their own actions, so if a person is addicted to something, then they are obligated to themselves to seek the appropriate medical help.

Some people are addicted to cheeseburgers but that doesn't mean cheeseburgers should be banned. Obviously, they should seek help at Cheeseburgeraholics Anonymous. Clearly, other people are not addicted to cheeseburgers and they are able to eat their cheeseburgers responsibly.

Responsible cheeseburger eating, and likewise, responsible gambling, or gaming, is really up to each person to decide for themselves what is right.

But, again the problem of "addiction" is very serious and, you seem very concerned about it, so I think it's your responsibility to take that discussion to another thread.

While the problem of addiction is very serious, you must oblige us here, in this thread, by focusing on the topic which is Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

Honestly, it's known by everyone that Jagex appreciates comments, feedback, questions, suggestions, etc., that's why they have these forums.

So, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is simply an awesome suggestion that will help both the players and Jagex strengthen the future of the game: Partyhats on Treasure Hunter will help balance the game; help many more people share the fun of the Partyhat parties; and help Jagex strengthen their funding to hire more people to develop cool updates for all players to enjoy long into the future.

At the end of the day, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is a cheerfully excellent idea that will strengthen the future of the game! :D

And, to all : Happy New Year! :D

hmm not sure

Well yes, that's exactly the problem when there is no centralized accounting, like on the Grand Exchange, so the prices of items like Partyhats are completely inaccurate, no one is sure of a fair price of these things as the prices are basically artificial or fabricated.

People just make up the prices, counting only those transactions that suit their profit margin, otherwise it's simply impossible for any player to access all the data.

Basically, these flip/merch/investors are unproductive, they're not adding any value to the items in question, they're just middle-men leeching wealth from the other players.

The following illustration shows that "merchants" that "flip" or "invest" in Partyhats have a negative impact on the economy because of the leech mechanic.



Due to the flip/merch/investing activities, items such as Partyhats, artificially hyper-inflate because of the leech gambit and that results in an overpowered game mechanic.

Flip/merch/investing is an "afk" activity and it shouldn't outpace "active" activities, such as pvm or skilling like mining, etc. So, flip/merch/investing is an overpowered leech mechanic that must be nerfed.

There are a number of ways to nerf it, for example, replenishing the supply of Partyhats will allow flip/merch/investors to hoard or collect Partyhats but reduce the hyper-inflation associated with the decreasing the supply of these items.

And, there are various methods to replenish the supply such as Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.


So, this is just one reason to support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter! :D

One of many weird reasons that make 0 sense IMO.

Well, even if you haven't completed your elementary school diploma, it's just basic common sense, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is a good thing for True Collector's of cosmetics because it helps collectors collect things and it helps Jagex maintain the game for everyone to enjoy their collections long in to the future! :D
