    It is my hope that this feedback encourages the staff to RuneScape gold earn polls more targeted to the audience who actively participate in the content they are polling, or use them as an advisory tool instead of a ruling. It would be interesting if they reveal some of the outcomes of this survey. I replied the exact contrary, that polling is in the crux of OSRS and they should stick with it. For clarity, I answered that polling is in the core of OSRS. The survey system enables the entire playerbase to start freeform conversation on the planned changes/additions created to Runescape itself and it's absolutely a great way to collect feedback and public comment on something. With that said, I really don't believe the present format satisfies the best interests of Runescape.

    I don't believe that the participant base is great at determining which content, based on objective virtue, is great for integrity and the general health of Runescape long term. Largely we view people vote based on self interest. According to polling, the community enjoyed NMZ but it was significant to remove. Players do not vote for any changes which make things tougher for them but over time which becomes a negative as content becomes easier and achievements are diluted, these can very minor but easily accumulate.

    Another example is PvP and PK changes that are consistently voted against. Individuals even voted against allowing pures wear blessed chaps, despite already being able to wear the variants. Improve profits from hint scrolls and so the only impact of this to accounts that were normal will have been to slightly increase the need. This is not an example of polling meeting the interests of Runescape, it is only a meme of not liking pures. If we just see updates which match the exact same 75% of people every time the remaining 25% become increasingly marginalised, which is not a good equilibrium when people 75/25 are seemingly so often the very same people.

    Not everyone will make sound choices while voting, or make the"right" choice. If literally everyone left the most educated voting options. The United States would not have the president does. Real world example of voting, nothing longer. Our voting system isn't perfect, but we all have to make sure we do not wind up with the garbage that got pushed down RS3 players. Our throats. There are definitely improves that may be made that do not undermine it though (which are not being achieved or attempted).

    What will kill and ruin this game and its own integrity is this voting system's disregard which jagex is currently hoping to push as evident by this survey and has been performing recently. Additionally if jagex appeared as much as they say that they do about it, then they would not have unclear and confusing wording in polls. Its a thing that is fairly consistent. You'd think it would get proof read or something. Not even bare minimum work. On the contrary, the polling system functions differently to life democracy. Our votes empower elected representatives who make decisions on our behalf so that they could (ideally ) be educated, informed and rs gold 2007 objective about the issues.
