So first paragraph under "Unique Rewards", if you limit to only people who have done recent PvP can vote, will that also be the inverse? Will PvM polls be locked to people who recently did some PvM? What about skilling?

People will just do something within the scopes of approval before the poll drops. And add in to that, of course the people who have been asking for it will vote yes to it. The polls are in place to ensure that its something the majority want to add, not a specific group.

Things are the way they are now because the people who want high gp/hr with low req go to wild, in turn they try to risk as little as possible since if they die they won't lose as much money. Pkers in turn get mad as they wasted their time or supplies for almost nothing in return. This locked vote will only increase this behaviour. Add in singles clans and scouts and your gonna have a bad time.

But basically, The locking of polls will only divide the community even more than it already is. "I know who I am; I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude."

When it comes to changing who can vote on polls I have a really big issue with that.

Although I don’t pk, the fact is I still use the wilderness. Whether it’s using the zammy altar, killing the wildy bosses, doing wildy slayer, or any number of other activities. Obviously running into pkers is a risk and it’s something that makes those tasks exciting and rewarding.

Already there is huge potential to be knocked out in just a couple hits if you’re unlucky and just adding more knockout potential is something I disagree with. And I feel I should have the right to have my voice heard when it comes to wilderness updates. For example I voted no to all the weapons like vestas because I didn’t think it was necessary or a good idea to add into old school. For deadman it’s a great idea. But if you want to use those weapons on random players you should just play rs3.

I think PKing is a very important aspect of the game. But updates that pkers might want impact EVERYONE who enters the wilderness. Not just their community.

Stopping the ability of certain groups of people to vote is not okay in real life or in runescape.

If you were to make certain items available on only pvp or bounty hunter worlds, that would be okay in my opinion. It seems like a fair alternative as nobody in their right mind should be doing wildy activities besides PKing on one of those worlds. I don’t know how feasible that is but it’s an idea.

Please don’t censor my right to vote. Thanks :)

"We're considering alternative ways of offering such updates; perhaps by limiting access to the poll to only those players who've recently engaged with similar content. We're aware that such a requirement could be farmed, and so we'd have to require that the activity had taken place within a window of time before each relevant poll."

After you've mentioned the Spite vote is minimal I think this is an awful way of dealing with the issue, which is that unpopular content has less support. Each OSRS player should have an equal say on the polls because they have potential to play the content. Just because someone doesn't have a huge amount of play time in PvP doesn't mean their opinion means less. Everyone gets to play each part of the game - unpolled content and locking votes off to certain players means when they come to play it, it will either not be what they are familiar with or they will be alienated from it because they didn't get to have their say on the it.
The only way I can kind of see a limit working is if the content has a beta, like this BH update had. Players don't have to worry about getting their account to a certain level in game and/or risking their bank in order to try it out. Trying a beta out for an hour is easy to do and allows the player to come to conclusions about content, although with the ageing player base dedicating more time to a beta instead of a main account is a luxury, especially when the Spite vote is minimal, like you've mentioned before. Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update.

I took a break from Bounty Hunter 2 to do some afk slayer, and while I was doing slayer I came up with a wonderful idea. Some of the Bounty Tasks that you get are annoying because they are harder than others but give the same reward, it sucks because you only have 3 skips a day. The idea I came up with, make it available to "Block" certain bounty tasks using Bounty points as a new reward in the reward shop! Similar to blocking tasks while doing slayer, this will also allow you all at Jagex to take some feedback into making even more Bounty Tasks available for different types of PKers.

Hello my question is can we please poll on making the new emblems/tiers stackable in bank I don’t see the reasoning for them not to be able to be stacked it take up allot of bank space and I don’t see the negative effect on stacking them like in original bounty hunter. Thank you looking forward to hearing some feed back on this matter. Been around since 2009

So since crates have been taken out of the rewards and are being nurfed I fully understand that but I’m the end the hole point was for them for pkers to get some kind of reward from pking now as it stands everyone basically in the combat bracket of 40-73 are all g maulers which me as an obby mauler I have no problem with but since the handle came out everyone protects it leaving nothing but 5k gp from that pk so creates where actually making it possible to profit a little bit off these g maulers instead of typical 5k loot but since u took it out it’s back to nothing from each pk so it’s running out of reason to even do it it’s costing more in gear then to actually kill some I understand the reason for taking the crates out befouled of farmers but in reality I can’t base the game off bots and farmers I think crates should come back in nurfed and maybe just cost -7-9 points each crate it’s a good compromise, as well as making it where u don’t need ur target to have an emblem to upgrade yours again u can’t base the game off farmers and bots if that’s the case duel arena should have left the game ages ago aswell as many other in game things. Emblems became completely obsolete sence the update because no one wants to risk them and seeing as how every pure only risks 5k on death it bring motivation to bring one to wild for us purrs who want to make a little money pking. I hope to hear some kind of feed back on these options and my opinion on this matter. Been around since 2009
