Dev Blog: Poll #26 Revisited

The Torag's set effect no longer increases attack speed and, instead, boosts defence based on how much health has been lost.
Torag's is literally the best melee defence armour available in-game, it most certainly doesn't need a buff for defence. Why buff stuff just so people will play a dead minigame? Forcing people to play content they don't want to play by bribing them with rewards or xp is just bad design.. that's the direction rs3 went. They bribe you with rewards & bonus xp just to log in and click a few buttons.
Sticking buffs on end-game content into rewards for doing dead content is a bad idea. You know what happens when you release new best-in-slot items and you simply make them tradeable w/ no real reqs. Since staff of the dead came out, how many times are you going to have to buff the master's wand until someone wants to use it again? How are you going to buff pest control after everyone gets their void? They aren't going to train there afterwards when there's the far superior option of nightmare zone.
Simply put, when things are buffed unnecessarily or make previous content obsolete (examples above), I am going to vote no. There is absolutely nothing wrong with adding variety or something new to the game, but you don't have to continually boost damage and armour stats to have that.
Less than 200 people have replied to this thread, and I suspect there isn't a vast majority that has even read it or knows it exists. With over 30,000 people voting in the corp poll, it's really unfair to both parties to restrict such updates to failing/passing based on whether or not a single question in the poll is worded nicely or not. Not enough people read the blog or are active in providing feedback for proposed content. There should be a requirement to read (or at least open) the blog before voting. It would be nice to have the ability to read the full description of something that is polled in-game. I know you can do it Ash
