why on the last question is there no toggable option added to the price checker?

Also the wilderness ditch question is extremely unclear...... I mean are you replacing the wilderness ditch or are you removing the wilderness ditch.. its very unclear..... and i would vote not just for these reasons with lack of wordings in the questions..
Question: Should we
replace the wilderness ditch with a less intrusive barrier
that offers the same level of protection against luring?
Players would be given a warning when attempting to run past the barrier. This warning would be toggleable.

It's not unclear at all....

Is there any way we can re-poll the Monkey Madness/Re-entry situation? For people who do not want to claim the XP, but want to return to the island for other activities.

I believe if this was re-polled, it would pass.

it would not at all pass and for reason also that poll was directed towards pure accounts to begin with dont try and hide and act like its not..... not just that but if your not gonna claim the xp to begin with i wouldnt of even bothered with it.. it shouldnt be a choice period it should just be given to you otherwise they have to do this with all quests to claim the xp.

If the replacing of the wilderness ditch passed a poll we would put a less intrusive, or potentially invisible, barrier in the same place. This barrier would interrupt you as you attempt to walk into the wilderness warn players and require them to acknowledge the risks of entering the wilderness. It would be possible to disable this message if you are a player that regularly visits the wilderness.


That wouldn't help any other lure spots...like Draynor -> jail guards, or Brimhaven/Karamja -> poison spiders/broodoo...

...why not do something that takes care of those too?

I gotta say, I'll be voting no on the ditch, unless these get addressed as well. 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

Dropping items in the wilderness

When items are dropped in the wilderness they currently take the usual minute to appear to other players. This often leads to situations where people about to die will drop their items and run back to pick them up in order to grief the players killing them.

We would like to offer a change to dropping items in the wilderness and PvP worlds where the items appear instantly. This would prevent the above from happening.

When we polled this previously we did not explain the motivation for offering the change. This time we will include some information in the question to make sure that the community are more aware of the purpose of the change.

Question: Should items dropped inside the wilderness and PvP worlds appear instantly? This would prevent players griefing PKers by dropping items.
------------------

I like this idea, but instantly can be troublesome. What about a 20 second timer in the wilderness? 20 seconds is not enough time to die and come back for the item, and in the event a pker needs to shuffle loot, it will no longer be possible. 20 seconds seems fair and reasonable.

No, the ditch not being there would be more nostalgic.


The wilderness ditch was only there to prevent lurers and scamming. as for more nostalgia being there, that's wrong.

Classic Runescape never had a wilderness ditch. That is all.

of course its not clear at all it mentions that they might offer a replacement barrier.. but its worded as if its to remove the current one but with a twist.. That twist being they will replace it not remove it..... They are unclear if they're removing it or replacing it.. They dont say they are removing it in the question but they are also saying they "might" replace it..... so which one is it replacing the barrier or removing it..

I thought this poll question to begin with was supposed to remove the ditch but by going how its worded that is not the case.. they also said this was a near miss poll so in this should be a question about removing it as the previous ditch question was about removing it.. how they explain it here they do not make it clear if they're removing it or replacing it with another obstacle..... If there not gonna bother remove it i'll vote no as thats what the question originally was supposed to be....................
