Great updates, but where are the updates to fix the castle wars issues?

Issues:

Being frozen from magic spells even after you are dead
Special attack bar doesn't reset when you die
Prayer still drains (if its on) when game ends

Seriously! Do you even poll anything these days?

The XP tracker came with multiple features that weren't polled.
The progress tracker never saw a poll.
The GE web pages saw no sight of a poll.
Zoom hasn't been polled.
Plus a variety of changes you've done in the Other news section have been inconsistent with polls. For example God wars dungeon boulder had no poll but kree'aras magic attack did.

These are all big updates which affect so much of the game and how it's played, they should be polled. Please just poll it, I've been posting on the unpolled update threads for quite a while and you clearly haven't understood the message.


I don't think it would be fair nor feasible to put up polls for every single detail of every single content update. They're already pretty tied down by the 75% vote requirement, which, on a side note, is an exorbitantly high percent rate.

As much as I defend polls I think small quality of life updates such as the pizza one could manage without a poll, however bigger updates like the zoom feature or the GE pages should be polled.
The good thing about having such as high limit on the poll system is that a very high majority of the player base want the update, not a small majority. that being said some smaller updates such as the pizza one could manage without needing 75%, however they usually get 80-90+ and pass with ease anyway. An example of a bigger update that needed a higher pass rate is Artisan because in the end 44% of players didn't want it, which is quite substantial.
RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.
