Unpolled changes & ignoring polls
Not only are you adding content that has never seen a poll but you're actively adding content that has failed?!
This is complete undermines the trust you've built with the community over the last 7 years and no longer makes OSRS a community game.
Saying "There are other factors in play" is not right. I believe that updates fail when they are not right for the game. There are plenty of times minority community content, such as pvp, has passed. This isn't because you've appeased the bigger communities but because the content fits in the game.
PvP
One big problem with PvP is that many original OSRS updates created a rivalry between PvP, PvM and skilling communities. These communities don't understand each other and rarely try each others content. PvP has the biggest barrier to entry and such a steep learning curve that most players don't see it as a worthwhile investment.
I don't think this BH update fixes that. In fact the unpolled changes makes the rift between communities even bigger. These rifts need to be bridged, the learning curve needs to be flatten and then see what happens with voting for pvp content.
Other
You've limited the VLS to BH worlds but you haven't limited spell sacks to BH worlds too. These are clearly more items to give pvp predators an advantage in the wild and should be given the same treatment. RIP Forums
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.
