Abolish or I am not
OSRS GP advocating to dismiss the polling system and it is a instrument in holding the devs. On the other hand, the polling system does not function effectively and necessitates improvements or more flexibility to meet the needs of the player base. When 99 percent of content is left to the community to decide, I can't agree with all the exaggeration on your post about the disregard of polled items. It is important to be aware that the events when Jagex have felt they had to diverge from the outcome, it was because they felt forced to by the difficulties with the voting system.
The VLS addition is a obvious and current example of the: Jagex poll PvP changes/updates which don't pass and don't believe the community are currently evaluating the content on merit. This means Jagex accept that PvP buffs/content will not ever pass polls or do them anyway. Polls either have to become a) pitched to individuals who actively engage in or understand that the relevant content( b) taken as powerful advisement rather than gospel( c) lower threshold, or d) just make more integrity adjustments.
This really is 100% authentic for every single game's player base. While sometimes a developer has overlooked something significant and players may assist them--because it's the players that actually play Runescape--that the player base frequently makes quite stupid decisions because they do not actually spend much time thinking about what a change could do, they don't have any development experience, and they are often very self-interested. In the instance of all OSRS, the players have completely vetoed bad ideas multiple occasions before, however they also have vetoed great thoughts, and the absolute dumbest ideas generally aren't the items that make polled, they are the things that get indicated and upvoted right on the subreddit.
I feel that way also. But I don't mind the thought of giving the OSRS group more control. Because apart from PvP stuff, and a few really dividing upgrades like a ability that is new. I feel like that they already have a good deal of freedom to design content anyhow. It is not like everything they survey gets down taken. Like if they polled DT2, menaphos and raids 3 tomorrow it would pass without it even being shut. Sounds like more of a reason to keep the polling system to me. The upgrades that are generally liked will pass. The updates that a great portion of the player base dislike won't pass.
Another thing to
buy old school rs gold think about is because something fails a survey does not mean they repoll it later and can't rework it. What's great about situations like that is that they will get a good deal of comments and correct the material before adding it into Runescape. Then a group of players will be marginalized for needing another ability or for being Pkers as someone said though. Eventually they will become jaded and leave Runescape, which I am sure Jagex doesn't want. I honestly voted for the poll system but with voting towards those groups gaining more power and Jagex that actively participate in it. As a pker and someone who enjoys pvp I think that is my only alternative.
