"Sci, if what you say is true, OSRS is doomed to fail, because lack of updates means the game will go stagnant and boring. This will cause people to quit, leaving the servers like the Classic servers. Due to them watching for vote sabotage, you can be assured 75% or more of the community wants a certain update."

I have to agree with you Zelda. It won't happen right away, but people will reach that "end game" and when there's nothing left to do... they will leave (leaving the playerbase smaller, and likely an additional cost to those who choose to stay).
You CAN be assured that an "overwhelming majority" wants any updates put into the game. 75% is no small feat in this community (and we will ALL find ourselves in that 25% at least once).
That's not going to be Jagex's fault though.
If they (Jagex) never offered anything.. we'd just get to that point faster.
I've been in these forums day and night, for years (every day for more than 2 months now), and what I see this OS team doing is responding to posts in forums.. answering questions.. trying hard to keep the players in the loop... telling us what they can and cannot do.. allowing the freedom to post about any possible update they want to discuss.. even responding on a LOT of threads. How can that be wrong?
To say they should simply ignore the forums, is lunacy. Ignore the player base that just threw money at you and do nothing of what they discuss in these forums? No.
Jagex has done nothing more than to offer what they are actually capable of. If something passes and is implemented into the game... it's NOT jagex's fault.
It's the players who must meet or exceed that 75% yes vote, and blaming jagex for player choices is absolute insanity (IMO).
