Limiting questions to which players can interact with in order to ensure a fair representation of each community is definitely something which I support. Especially in terms of Iron Men for example, as their personal game is much different to the normal player base, making it unfair if the normal player base can skew the vote, as such.

Lowering the vote on the other hand is a trickier one. In my opinion, all polls which attained 70-74% would need to be re-polled, as such polls may be pass under a new pass rate.

Finally, concealing the vote results until the poll has finished is something which I strongly support! Never understood why we could view it in the first place!

Thanks

I like the idea of a voting system that allows ironmen to vote on things that will impact them directly. I'd like to say thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into the game for us gamers.

On a side note, you guys could do a strawpoll during the next Q&A stream, asking the viewers how they feel about having separate polls depending on account type.

There hasn't been a poll in 2 months, yet there have been numerous unpolled tweeks, and now you want to make polls less relevant? If anything, we need more polls for small updates. Definitely seems like the opinions of the players have been ignored over the last few weeks especially.

Limiting questions could be good, but i doubt the oldschool team will come up with decent requirements for each group.

And hiding the results is just annoying, considering you can find them on other sites.

Would something like skipping monkey madness experience be considered a pure only question? Because it would allow them to get stronger gloves which would impact anyone they fight in the wilderness.

I think the 75% requirement is good, wouldn't want to see it lowered. of course. anything that affects pures cant be consider to have any effect on people they use the abilities they gain against.

seriously, the entire purpose of the 75% was we didn't want the game to change too much. limiting the number of people that could vote would cause the game to change rapid. might as well just take polls out and put eoc and buyscape into the game. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

I am 1 of those guys who vote "NO" to everything that i dont care about, and the reason for this is the community that votes no to everything just because it doesnt affect them .. thats why i will keep voting no to everything that isnt pvm/pvp related .. dont blame me blame the system.

Jad 2 anyday now ?!?!?

This is a joke right? Do you even see the results of your own polls showing that 80% to 90% of the questions pass? Your assessment that somehow you can't add enough new content because polls are too restrictive is ridiculous! In my opinion you guys have run amok with the new content which is making the game, including Ironman, too easy. I vote for raising the bar to 80% and cutting back on the updates to no more than once every month or two.

I can understand the Ironman only poll questions, because that is a supported game-mode from Jagex. It should only make impact on Ironman content of course.

But why pures? They limit themselves to the content you guys release. If they can't wear specific gloves or can't do certain quests, well... Go train defence.
This game was never made for Pures anyway.

No, I don't hate Pures.. But it's your decision if you guys stay 1-45 Defence or go higher.

And btw, don't even think about going to 70% pass polls. There is so much stuff already going 80-90% in a poll, I would love to get the bar raised.

I would like to see higher total level to vote, 280 is way too low for things that can impact the game a lot. You have clueless people voting on things they don't even understand. Also for any skill changes maybe always require a certain level in the skill to vote, 50+ or so.
