Just remove the polling system or atleast make it 51% to pass. If majority of players want it then give it. Hate to see good updates not pass because of 26% idiots that think osrs shouldnt be updated.

If they removed the polling system I would dance IRL outside their studio. I'll do it in the nude if it pleases the Jagex gods.

I doubt we'd ever see 51%. I do think 65% is absolutely fair. The current system has the power to upset 75% of the entire player base... it's ridiculous. Is that not what EoC did, but instead 75% of those players permanently QUIT ?

Rethink it guys! :@

I'd be happy to see an Iron Man world. It doesn't fix the garbage system we call "power to the players." It's a huge joke. The polling system hurts all of us, Iron Man accounts included. It also hurts the Old School Dev team as a business. I feel like some days we pay them to sit around and laugh at all the stuff we make fail the polls. They're like LOLOLOLOLMFAO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY WORK TODAY!

Ofc this isn't the real truth at all, but it sure feels like it. They preach "we want to expand our team and offer you guys a better future!" Yet they won't just fix this garbage poll system. 70% Threshold won't fix it either. And lmfao if they poll it like they already tried to. It's a business decision just as much as it is a blessing to all RS players. We get content!!!! Just do itttttt.

I'm so anxious and salty right now. This is the one thing I've asked for since the polling system has been introduced and ruining too many good things. Meanwhile in RS3 they get all these massive expansions and strong items that make the game look fun. We get Dragon Short Sword. "lol"

Im 1 of the veterans of runescape and eoc made me quit the game .. the only reason i play osrs is because i dont like the combat system of eoc. This doesnt mean i like oldschool nothing will be as good as the good old times when we had a huge playerbase. I prefer pre eoc over 07 but since that is gone i want osrs to be as good as pre eoc or even better i will vote yes to dungeonering nex and every othergood updates from back in the days

Then go play IT, and leave OLDSCHOOL to the OLDSCHOOL already. '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.'

Then petition RS3 to make Legacy mode better...or petition them to remove EoC.

But DON'T ruin OSRS. '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.'

I highly urge Jagex:

1.) Drop the Treshold to 65-70%. Do not poll it. This is a decision that directly effects your business, and is just the right thing to do for the community. Why have a dev-team at all if you don't care to be competent enough to use it?

2.) Begin considering Old School's future. Raids were a HUGE success! Maybe the best content in OSRS to date!! There was one problem with them... the rewards are questionable. Dragon Claws and Twisted Bow are great, but everything else is too useless, or too niche. We need to drop that threshold and begin introducing the future to OSRS.

I want to see tier 80+ weapons. I want to see food & pots that appropriately balance these future weapons, and future PvM. I want tier 80+ armors. All topped off with PvM that makes these raids look like the Dragon Slayer Quest. We should gradually be trying to push into this territory in the new year. Runescape is starting to feel stale, and feel as if we don't want progression. It's saddening.

3.) Consider polls that require being an Iron Man. These polls would only contain content that effects Iron Man builds. These would be rare.

4.) Again, stop worrying about OPscape. Begin dropping that threshold and taking ownership of just how good raids were. This is the start of something amazing. I congratulate you! But we lost elder armors, and so much more...all because of your polling system.

Plz Fix -.-

fk, this is cringe-fest

Somehow there are people (non ironmen) who despise ironmen, for whatever reason. Who will ofcourse downvote any improvements to the game for iron men and women.

So yeah I would love to see every idea you guys described in the Dev blog.

I've already mentioned there are far too many accounts for the current polling system to be viable. Jagex polling their intentions to lower the threshold would be the same as them shooting themselves, and their player-base in the foot. Jagex will never expand their job offerings, and Old School will fail to receive game saving updates that barely pass for often times selfish reasons.

Let's take a look at some of the accounts builds we have in Runescape!

Iron Man
Ultimate Iron Man
Hardcore Iron Man
Tanks
Obby Maul Pures
Obby Maul Tanks
1 Defence Pures
10 Defence Pures
20 Defence Pures
30 Defence Pures
40 Defence Pures
42 Defence Void Pures
45 Defence Berserkers
70 Defence Barrow Pures
Maxed Mid PK Builds
Skillers
Defence Pures
Prayer Pures
Self-Imposed Challenge Accounts (Zeah ONLY Iron Man)
10 HP Pures

And of course... MAIN ACCOUNTS!

Does anyone not see a problem with this?
THERE IS TOO MUCH DIVERSITY FOR THE CURRENT POLLING SYSTEM TO BE FAIR!
This isn't even every single type of account build. Every update is a massive anxiety war on YouTube because of this, and many people feel like we aren't getting enough updates.

I feel like we're not getting enough GOOD FUTURE CONTENT. Because every single thing we poll gets red-flagged as "OP!" Will we never see a future in OSRS? Or do we want 10 more years of AGS/Dclaws?

Take all of this. All of it, and begin to factor in:
-Some people don't want updates at all (which upsets the majority of the player-base)
-Some people don't like voting
-People hate updates that don't benefit their account builds
-People hate updates that benefi [/quote]
