Please don't **** up the polls on gwd like you did with rare items.
The majority of people wanted tradeable discounted items, but the way you had phrased it with like 20 different almost the same options, meant that no one had over 75%.
Also the pid thing needs changing asap, I stopped playing due to staking being impossible while people where paying like 100$ for vpns for the best IPs.

Original message details are unavailable.
So when GWD will be out if it gets over 75%? The week after next week?

Jagex once said they could handle it in a week or two, although making time frame promises on software is almost always a terrible thing to do, as unexpected bugs can always show up and be surprisingly hard to fix

Blindly copying in the GWD, we probably could do in a week, if we weren't doing anything else at all. However...

1. We can't just give you the original version with all the bugs back. Overhauling the GWD is going to be a sizeable job. I'll be posting details in tomorrow's blog.

2. Apart from the big project of the time, we also do various other things. There's the other player requests from the polls. (Okay, we could stop offering anything else while there's a big project on, but it'd be kinda harsh on the players who don't care about the big project. So we offer small things to try and balance it.) Then there's bugfixing, or investigating potential issues. Then there's the housekeeping maintenance work, merging updates into our development streams whenever we update, and maintaining our documentation. Plus we ought to spend a bit of time on the forums. So a job that takes 10 working days would not be done in 10 days.

Well as we all now GWD will get more than 75% because it even got 75% in the Big Priority Poll in which the players could also vote for something else than GWD (P2P worlds, etc.) so why Jagex haven't you already start fixing the bugs? You could prepare it. I believe you that there's enough to do but you could already do the groundwork for GWD.
Can't wait for GWD :P

I hope you can implement some kind of lootshare with GWD. Mistrust is going to be rife and greed is probably going to get the better part of a lot of people. And if you can't implement Lootshare then please at least do something akin to the unique drop announcer in the main game. The
