I would love to see 200 million capes soon, so now I can see my XP gaining points. Also, for the max cape, and maybe 200m capes, if you have a fire cape you can use the fire cape on the max cape to trim it with lava/fire just a idea. Also, get the status of the fire cape. You also still have to get the fire cape so its not a free fire cape with out killing Jad.

This would be a normal quality of life update however there is a serious issue with quite a lot of these updates. Unpolled features.

First of all lets look at Xp drops.
Xp drops passed a poll, however what has been released today isn't what was polled.

we are offering the experience tracker in the most basic form. A small, toggleable, icon next to the minimap that can be clicked to open a small box displaying the experience you've gained since you last reset the timer. The timer can be reset by right-clicking the icon and selecting the right-click option.

Mod Ronan said :
Additional features, such as being able to track experience gained in specific skills, were added to the experience tracker in the future. Such features may be possible somewhere down the line for Old School if the experience tracker passes.
Which to any normal old school player would mean that you'd create a dev blog and poll these additional features.
You have either been very selfish by forcing these updates into the game or you've been completely stupid and kept adding things which you have no right to do. Either way you've completely undermined the whole poll system that old school is dependent on.

Now I shall move onto the grand exchange web pages which has been discussed for a while but has not seen sight of any poll or dev blog. One could argue that it's not an ingame feature and therefore doesn't need to be polled however it is still an old school feature and has a big affect on the game and it's economy. RIP Forums
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

Finally whilst I'm talking about unpolled content I want to question why you're adding updates like
Mod Ronan said :
Players who intentionally overheat by using the pump too much at Blast Furnace will now be kicked out temporarily.
However you're holding back on updating magic splashing and nmz AFKing.

And you're adding updates like
Mod Ronan said :
The boulder at the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon entrance has changed how it treats damage that is queued on you as you pass through it.
but you've polling updates like
Mod Ronan said :
Since the release of Godwars dungeon Kree'arra's magic attack has calculated whether or not it hits based on your ranged defence. Should this be changed so Kree'arra's magic attack calculates whether or not it hits based on your magic defence? This change will likely have an impact on the difficulty of the boss.

One could argue these are just bug fixes and balances however the fact you're polling things like kree'ara then you've clearly decided to poll bug fixes and balances, when in reality you're being completely inconsistent.

Please just make sure you poll all updates and keep some form of consistency with bugs and balances. RIP Forums
