P.S: Mod Ash's reply

I will add my 2 pennies to this thread again...
I had a read through your comments on the first page.

If in-game polls happen - and I reckon they will, even if there's support for keeping the website poll form available too - I think they'll be a good opportunity to fix some of the problems.

By posting links in the questions to relevant bits of the blogs, we can (hopefully) get more people to understand what they're voting about. Plus we could link to pictures, etc.

We may even be able to let people go back to change their votes while the poll's still open. I'm not guaranteeing that for now, but I'm hoping it'll prove possible. That'd solve the frequent complaints from people who change their opinions but can't do anything about it. (Of course, we might also want to poll that before enabling it.)

If the 75% threshold is coming up for debate, I think it'd warrant its own blog and a much wider consultation, so I'm not going to try addressing it here.

Lately, I have noticed every content piece be overly hyped in an attempt to create a interest among the community. Dev Blogs, Hyped up twitter, Twitch streams and Q&A's, multiple Surveys and Polls! This may be because of how harsh we bash every piece of content.
I wouldn't call it "overly hyped".

We run surveys and polls to find out what we should be working on.
We write blogs to tell you what we're doing.
We run Q&As to answer questions about what we did, and what we're doing next.

This isn't hype. This is the bare minimum required to operate a community-driven game.

What about also adding a magic longbow (u)/magic comp bow (u). Both bows are extremely unpopular now because they are very underpowered. You could make the special attack only drain 25% and possibly increase its effectiveness.

Also, what about adding some new free to play items or magic spells? Magic is very underpowered in f2p at higher levels. I would like to see wave spells, snare, and teleblock implemented into free to play.

Everything else mentioned sounds awesome. I will vote yes to all.

And my opinion is this should be added to every world's wilderness (including free to play!) and the entire world for pvp worlds.

"I do not mind how Dragon Defenders are implemented."

I've seen a few PvM oriented players express dislike towards how it would be implemented. If the majority agrees that this should be a boss exclusive drop then I would happily support that! However, I do want to point out that items such as Defenders, Fighter Torso, Void Equipments are all PvM rewards. A lot of PK'ers don't like heavily restricted items...But, they deal with it.

That said... If it fails by anything less than 10%, I'd feel no justice. If 35% or more of the community want a boss to drop the Dragon Token / Defender, I'd support :)

I will buy this dragon spike if I must, but I would rather it come from the original source of defenders.

Great, thus it would give the PvM'ers an option to stick to the PvM aspect of the upgrade. Also it would add a bit more profitable incentive to PK'ing.

I do also agree that the 75% rule needs to change! The fact the game might not develop naturally due to a stubborn minority is becoming ridiculous!

I re-posted a discussion I had to Mod Ash, Dan and Ronan. Both through the in game forums and Twitter. This may or may not have been what fueled them to bring this up in the Q&A's. Me and a large group of friends are absolutely disgusted and sick of the polling system in which we did not choose, yet we suffer from it.

Take a read and see for yourself what is so wrong with it. Also be sure, that these are not all of my arguments. Only what the forums allows me to type.

I think the requirement for passing should be dropped to around 66%. Former RS3 Completionist, On the road to Max old school

The rune bag should hod as many different type of runes at once as the player would like. It is ridiculous to try pk on standard spells when teleblock use law, death, and chaos. Then you have entangle using nature, water, and earth. Then god spells with air, fire, and bloods. Count em,9 different runes, almost 1/3 of inventory gone. Then you have the gear switch since you're likely bridding.

From a business point of view. I would love to see Jagex do the following:


1.) Rename the game "Runescape 2."
2.) Develop the game with the new continent and more challenging + rewarding PvM.
3.) Fully unlock and offer Free to Play - here to stay!
4.) Look at all the content and add a generous amount of the P2P content to F2P
5.) ADVERTISE Runescape! This is absolutely crucial. They must begin investing more into advertisement. Social Media and Player Base advertisement is not cutting it. I do not mind if they advertise just the main game (Runescape 3.) Both would benefit in the long run, open up new jobs and potentially grow the game back into the 100,000 numbers. Depending on how/where they advertise and what is invested.


I am seeing too much content being added that "moves the players from Activity A to Activity B." This is a problem. You're killing one activity to make another active for a short amount of time. The hype dies, so does the activity. This is NOT helping the game and is NOT increasing our numbers. The only player base rise I have seen is in the following:


1.) Advertisement bots
2.) BOTS
3.) Gold site bots
4.) Lurers and Scammers


I am sick of seeing Jagex reps saying "the game is growing." No, it is not and it is time to re-evaluate your priorities.

I agree that the poll vote percentage should be lowered to 66%.

The number in question from the Q&A, based by Mod Mat K, is 70%. He also said "we could post a poll on this." Which is utterly ridiculous, might I add. We did not have a say in the number that was picked, 75%. This is also too big of a call to let the players decide in my opinion. I believe Jagex should evaluate the factors in the poll and include all bias factors as well. Then decide a new number.

Regardless, I am willing to see it polled if they are not confident in doing so. 70% Is a start, it could be lower. I would be happy with even the 5% dropped.

Thank you for your read / reply. I told Jagex the issue and it made Q&A's. I do not know when they plan to bring it back up, if at all. I would recommend NOW rather than later. We are polling such massive pieces of content that are going to struggle and by a facepalming percent. It's better to do this now rather than never. If you want to support this...I'd suggest you bring the topic to friends or to the forums. I told Ash and Dan, I do not have the time to do it myself.

I have the ideas and proper reasoning. I do not have the time. I am working a job and full time at College. I also have my hobbies, such as Runescape. Believe it or not, I HATE camping these threads. But, when I do... I usually see a lot of players beginning to agree and socialize more. I like being able to make the game more interactive and happy for others :) So I waste my time here and pitch well thought out ideas.
