This poll has more useful options than most other polls. Most of these are small, but still useful to all players. Here are my thoughts on the poll:

Question: Should random events be dealt with as described in the developer blog?
Answer: Partially. As with everything else in osrs, the random events have nostalgic value. I would rather not be hit with a random event every 15 minutes, but I still like getting them. If we take these away because the bots have evolved, people will start using simple bots again. I'm voting against this in hopes that they revise this.

Question: Should you be able to claim several barbarian assault reward items?
Answer: Why not? It will let pkers continue pking all day. I'll vote for this.

Question: Should an animation be added when the Verac's barrows set effects activates? Similar to other barrows sets.
Answer: As long as it doesn't cause any lag or other problems, I'll be voting for this. It would be nice to know how effective your equipment is.

Question: Should we increase the alchemy value of master wand to 60,000 coins so it can be protected over much less valuable items on death?
Answer: It might disrupt the flow of pking. More people might bring this item out to battle, mixing things up, now that they know it's a little more safe. I'm not a pker, so I can take it or leave it. I'll be voting yes to this.

Question: Should the experience for burying wyvern bones be increased to 72, to match dragon bones?
Answer: This could devalue dragon bones. D bones is a large part of the economy, a change in price could affect many things. I'll be voting no to this, as our economy is extremely sensitive.

Question: Should we re-work the Skeletal Wyvern drop table to offer a better return over time?
Answer: They already drop many seeds and other good items. I wouldn't want to upset the balance that is already set. However, they are a bit of a pain, better drop rates are deserved. I'll be voting yes to this.

Part 2 in next post.

Question: Should rune shops sell packs of 100 elemental, mind and chaos runes?
Answer: This may put all of those merchant bots out of business. Big yes to this. Runes have always been so much of a hassle to get. I don't even care if this upsets the balance.

Question: Should Dark beasts drop big bones rather than bones, inheriting curved and long bone drops?
Answer: Prayer is already a pain to level up, high level monsters need to have appropriate bones. I vote yes to this.

Question: Should the "User has logged in/out" pm notification disappear after 10 seconds?
Answer: The annoying USERNAME HAS LOGGED OUT text does have nostalgic value, but not in a good way. I vote yes to this, as long as it doesn't cause lag or any other errors.

Question: Should a right-click reset option be added to the Wave 1 portal at Barbarian Assault to reset your wave?
Answer: A right-click option be added for almost everything. It's already an annoyance to need to reset your wave in the first place, the right-click will help us out a little bit. I vote yes.

Question: Should you be able to combine halves of pizza to create a full pizza?
Answer: Bank space is limited, we need to preserve space as much as possible. I vote yes.

For the rest of the questions, I can take it or leave it. I ask that you consider long term changes to the game before you vote. Thanks for reading.
