Thanks for updating the drop rates on the prayer scrolls. Currently they're only usable by the super wealthy while the melee prayer is in comparison free. I think even 1-2m for each prayer is a bit high with the cost of piety being free. I'm actually glad you're trying to do something about it , but the raids should still be rewarding. I think the Raids are immensely difficult currently and until you're maxed stats with best in slot gear you don't really stand much of a chance. If you want to do some balancing on the difficulty of raids in general that would be awesome.

As for the skilling pets. Those things are insanely rare. Been trying for the Beaver for a while with no luck. Does my account have one of the worst rng or something? Drakes need a buff to be worth killing and not a blocked task

I understand the reasoning behind updating the Elite Void colouring. But I would have rather have seen you do something with the helmets, before you knew when someone had gone to get elite void. It stood out. I think that should have been a priority in the recolouring. It's too close to being like regular void now. I think the players who have taken the time to get all the points for void, and then the 400 extra points to upgrade it to Elite status deserve an item that does in fact stand out.

I would much rather have liked to seen helmets that when equipped with the Elite Void set auto-recoloured to better match it.

A physical redesign of the helmets to match the Elite robes if you have the set unlocked.

Something more along the lines of keeping the Elite Void set as it was. A stand out set, that showed publicly that effort had been invested in it.

I highly encourage that you reconsider your stance on this, and perhaps poll a redesign. I'd be excited to see what your design team may bring to the table.

So basically you are speeding up EZ scape by allowing every player to have these end game prayers?

Now Raids isn't even going to be worth it since you nerfed the prices of scrolls once again. Thanks "Who are you really? deep... deep down... far far in... Once you figure that out you will laugh your self Silly!" - Alan Watts.

Hey Deneil Young, you must understand that if everything was to be put through a poll, updates would take for ever to come in. Unfortunately the OSRS team cant make everyone happy. The OSRS team has received various types of feedback from players throughout many different sources of social media, reddit, twitter, forums ect. Therefore they have taken everything into consideration and made the best decision they can regarding this issue.

How big of a portion of the whole player base do these social media ranters represent? Can you confidently say that the majority of the people wanted this update without polling it? Sure they listened to the feedback from those who didn't like the rarity of the prayer scrolls but how about the people who kind of liked how the drop rates were? Were they asked anything? I wasn't. Does my opinion not matter if I don't post it on social media?

And finally, (for what it's worth) I think raids should reward those who willingly spend hundreds of hours trying to reach their goals rather than those who won't. But hey I admit it's pretty clever to do a couple twitter posts if they save you all that time.

Stop changing the droprates just because you can't afford it on your regular OSRS account. Think about these things before adding them; learn from it. You do this everytime, on every update. Just once, listen to actual RS-players rather than the 25 Reddit people with 150 accounts each. You have to end this - once and for all. I mean it - STOP IT FFS

You say: " The majority of people think it's too expensieve - hence to poll was needed. " But 72%+ voted for Raids armours - which is more than just a majority. But these weren't added - why not? PULL YOUR SHIT TOGETHER

I really wish there was an ornament kit or toggle to revert back to the original, iconic appearance of male Armadyl (i.e. with the skin showing). The old look was true to the Aviansies and looked better in my opinion, and that poll barely passes by 148 votes. :(

Bring back the old look on male Armadyl armor!

We didn't exactly poll you on the original rates of those scrolls. It was pretty apparent after launch that the design we'd chosen wasn't suitable, and when we've just released something that's clearly unsuitably balanced, it makes sense to address it rather than enshrining it permanently in its bad state. Apart from such fixes, yes, we do expect to poll new features coming into the game - and while cosmetic stuff isn't important to some players, others feel very strongly about it.

Makes sense.
I guess the so called end game content isn't important to some people and others just have to feel a bit stronger about it so that it can have a fair poll.
Thanks.
