1. I do support hiding poll results until the poll is over, "famous" runescape streamers and youtubers should not be able to hold so much influence over updates. Currently they will use it to get their viewers to vote a certain way and if they can't check where it's at they will not be able to panic rally their followers as much.
2. Require participating in the polls upon login or pre-login for all accounts to get more accurate results. This way everyone who plays the game will be forced to give their opinion,I know there's people who are too lazy to vote half the time
.
3. Remove the "skip question" option, in the beginning we all had this sense of duty to provide our opinion on any content polled whether it effected our personal gameplay or not because we wanted to ensure everything was for the game's best interest. I think many of us who have played for many years can judge whether an idea that only effects a certain part of the players like pures/ironmen/pvp/pvm is good or bad content for the game even if we aren't a member of that sub-community.
4. Word the questions better without any bias and as some have mentioned here try to explain what long-term impacts the update will have on the game and each aspect it will effect with a #/color scale like a progress bar type graphic to indicate how severely it will impact various content:
-Predicted economic impact it will have on the game as many people don't understand supply/demand so they vote for an update without realizing the effects it will have on prices.
-Skilling update: How much will it effect the xp/hr rates? Will it make older methods less efficient or bring life to some dead content?
-Combat update: Will the difficulty of any bosses change? How will it effect slayer? Will solo or group pvp change?
5 . More active discussion on forums with us about these dev blogs/updates it's like after a day jmods stop responding.
