This kind of sucks because the majority of players who already abused and got their free afk levels are going to vote to nerf this XP. They already got theirs, and they want to keep themselves at the top, so this poll is kind of skewed.

Just to let you know I am completely maxed combat and I will be voting no on everything. I'm sure the majority of the clan world will be voting no so our friends that decide to come back can train quickly. Nobody wants to max an account a second time that will take years to do so.

No it doesn't people like myself have maxxed melee combat before nmz even was out. Making maxxing combat an issue of like a months work is just plain stupid. The main problem i see in rs3 right now everyone that actually is still playing is already maxxed anyways if everyone is maxxed it doesn't add to the variety of the game just the high level content being hopelessly overfarmed and crowded

There are a number of you that are asking why we are we polling the questions. The reason is because from the previous thread there were as many people saying not to touch as there were saying to change it. This shows us that the decision is not straight forward and as such the decision should be with the right people, the community. The results of the poll will tell us what the community feels.

As for the numbers that were used, those were all taken from the information that was sent to us. I don't doubt that they are not wholly accurate, but they still highlight the major issues that the community seem to have which is the cost of mage training and afking.

If that is the case the need for the nerfs should be 50%+ not 75% though since that would be favouring the people against the nerfs by a lot

All polls are at 75%. If that were to change we'd require a poll. In the end you have to trust in the community to make the decision on this one.

You think the main problem in RS3 is that the majority of people that have been playing a game for possibly over 10 years are maxed? Seems legit.

Polling nmz magic shouldn't even be a question it needs a nerf and you know the majority of players will just want to keep it in so they can afk nmz for hours. 5/21/2017 The day I claimed ownership of the Old School Content Suggestions.

Mhm seeing as those rates and stuff shouldnt be in the game to begin with why not make it require 75% to stay ^^.
Oh well i guess i will be trying to make the best out of it. I don't welcome it not getting any nerf* but i really do hope to see more boss content that requires slayer to make some of those people who couldn't be bother to actually train that masterpiece of a skill miss out

It makes no sense to poll an obviously imbalanced game mechanic, instead of simply repairing the bugged mechanism to bring it back in balance. '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.'

'Question: Should the combat XP you get in Nightmare Zone scale up so you get 100% of the XP if you have unlocked all of the bosses available for that dream?'

You need to change this question so that it is actually stated that a vote for yes is a vote for a nerf to the existing rates when using a booster.
The question is worded way too positively, almost as if a yes vote is actually an increase in xp rates.
A significant number of people do not read forum posts, and will vote purely based on the question they see in the poll, and of these a lot will vote yes when if they knew what the implications would be they would actually vote no.
Unless that was what you intended by wording the question this way.

...which is like trusting your 5 year old not to eat all the halloween candy at once.

A bugged game mechanic imbalance needn't be polled. '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.'

It makes no sense wanting to ruin a better way to train.
