Crying over fairy rings?

You're confused. The ones crying over the fairy rings got a CHANGE that goes directly against a poll where the players voted FOR the changes that took place last week, and the CHANGE happened without a poll.

Complaining about them proving polls don't matter is by no means the same as crying over fairy rings.

Remember the purpose of polls? Player driven so that it's exactly what the player base wants.

No wonder they can't even get 50% of the daily players to vote. We can all see that this is jagex driven even when it goes against what the players have approved.

Hope you're next to understand this. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

i can understand changing things like the duel arena to combat scammers without a poll. BUT quality of life updates NEED to be polled to see how many people are actually in favor of said update. simple as that.

The Duel Arena one should just have been implemented and they should have said this is why we are doing it.

The way they introduced it, with the wording opens the game up to other updates done in a similar fashion.

But if they have passed a poll for something then just changed it the week after that goes to a whole new level.

I missed lots of polls, is this the first one they have reversed the result of since one of the first rares updates (the one which asked how they should be issued?) thinks Jagex should honour the results of the original Old School Poll

So after all this uproar about the fairy ring change I decided to do the reasonable thing and go back and read what they polled.

Taken from Old School Content Poll #47:

"Question 23: Should it be possible to enter fairy ring codes at any fairy rings to travel directly to the location? This would remove the need to travel to Zanaris with each use of a fairy ring."

This passed with an in game Yes vote of 86.4%. Last week was it added? Yes it was as a left click option on the fairy ring.

"Question 24: Should a 'last used' teleport option be added to the fairy ring menu?"

This passed with an in game Yes vote of 90.5%. Last week this was added as the only right click option.

Now lets look at what happened this week. The left click option was reverted back to it's original functionality and the old left click became the first right click option, forcing the last used to the second right click option. Now notice the wording of the question. They asked should it be possible to dial codes from any fairy ring. That is what we voted yes for. We didn't vote for that option to be the left click option or the original functionality (left click Zanaris teleport) to be removed. Jagex haven't done anything against what we voted.

Last week they could have released fairy rings with a left click Zanaris option, 1st right click option dial combination and 2nd right click option last used and it would have fulfilled what was voted for in the original poll. Please take a step back and look at what was voted in before you assume that left click was voted in as being dial code. There hasn't been any reversal of votes in this case so please stop claiming Jagex have committed the ultimate sin.

They didn't seem to think so last week. While you're doubtless correct that a lot of people will not appreciate this change, a lot of people didn't appreciate last week's either. (In fact this week's change was itself a proposal from that lot of other people.)

Last weeks CHANGE was the result of a poll.

This change is the result of "a proposal from that lot of other people".

Who is THAT LOT, and why do they get to dictate what this game's devs do to and with the game, WITHOUT A POLL? "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

please sir, go back and read all the comments in this thread, no one is claiming jagex has not done what they said they would do, no one is claiming jagex has committed the ultimate sin, no one is saying they haven't done what they said they would do, we are simply saying that it was better before. the changing of the left click option to a right-click option WAS A QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATE. THEREFOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN POLLED IN A QUALITY OF LIFE POLL . NOT determined by a few people that didn't like it on the forums, updates are suppose to be run by the POLL BOOTHS not by a few people complaining on the forums, which is why i have stated many times, go back and poll it, and let these people who want the left click to take you to zanaris speak up and vote on a poll, and we will see if a few 100 people that craft cosmic runes will outweigh the rest of runescape that use the fairy rings for traveling around runescape for other purposes, there is an option to travel to last entered fairy ring code, which should suffice plenty for those crafting cosmics. and leave the other 99% of runescape to have it the way they like it. all I am saying is once again, don't change it back because a few of us are complaining on the forums, because that's where they messed up in the first place, just poll it. you will see. lets the POLLS speak for themself

Is there anything they haven't kept their word on in the original poll? Yes/No?

If there's a "bug" and a group of people complain about it and it gets fixed the next week. Should there have been a poll to fix the bug first? Yes/No?

This is honestly the most pathetic excuse some people have found to rant at the JMods about. No one was screaming "OMG CHANGED WITHOUT POLL" when the wintertodt drop rates were being changed for standard rewards as well as the pyromancer outfit. If Jagex had just gone ahead and made this change without Mod Ash referring to player feedback would you have had this same ridiculous outburst on the forums?
