Can you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE put a barrel of Pickaxe Handles in Bob's Axes in Lumbridge for those of us who actually liked using Pickaxe Handles for costumes?
The last time a player asked me about pickaxe handles, and I asked whether a blackjack would do, he seemed content with the blackjack. However, if there's still a lot of demand for pickaxe handles, we can certainly do that.

What will it hurt for players to have access to Pickaxe Handles?
Oh, it hurts no-one.
But it does require extra dev-time.

If we set out to include every single possible option that any player could possibly want, even when the poll passed with a big margin without the option being offered in the blog , we'd take a lot longer to develop anything.

I'm sure many players would agree that it's better to get updates right than to rush them out quicker. And that's indeed what we aim for. But, with a small dev-team, when we've got people clamouring for the Bounty Targeting system, and for the trade update, and for a bunch of bugfixes, and for a readability improvement to the poll results screen, and for a Jmod to review their design ideas, etc... I hope you can understand why we don't go looking to create extra non-essential work.
Blackjacks don't have the same look. They are not even close, unfortunately.

For the amount of dev-time it would take to make a barrel that contains Pickaxe Handles, of which I am quite sure would be very minimal at best, it would save the only wieldable tool handle from going into oblivion and give back to the community a great looking and fun costume item.

Please, Please, Please, Please, Please!

Just do it, even if you make Bob charge for them.

I'm quite sure many people would get them just for their cosmetic look.

A few answers to questions you've asked where I actually knew the answers:

- For people who don't like their "User has logged in/out" messages vanishing, we're polling a toggle button for it.

- For people who desperately want an axe handle, we can do it, although it may not be at the top of the priority list for the next update.

- We'll add a 'Dismiss' option to the random events so you can make them go away quicker.

- Iron Man mode is going on the next poll.
