Morning all,

In the Mining and Smithing dev blog, we said we would “aim to change the poll based on your feedback before it opens for voting”. There’s been feedback, so now we’re changing it!

The ‘Yes’ option for the High-level Mining and Smithing Update will now need 75% to pass. We will also be starting the poll earlier than planned, on Wednesday 30th August.

The threshold is changing from 50% to 75% due to the significance of what we’re polling (something you have rightly mentioned in feedback). The poll is to effectively postpone an improvement to the core of the game, so that we can release content for the endgame: that’s a fundamental and large change, so we should expect a large proportion of the community to back it. 75% will now be required to change our plans to a high-level Mining and Smithing update.

The date of the poll is changing because there doesn’t seem to be much reason to wait. We had planned for a week to give people chance to give feedback, but so much feedback has been received that we don’t want to waste any more time. We want to start planning development as soon as the poll finishes, regardless of the option.

Kinda feeling that I'd be happy for a reason to not play runescape anymore as this is what it is coming to... It's not a game anymore, not meant to be fun, it has just turned into a way for a company to make as much money as possible. So if runescape was to disappear at some point... I'd kinda be fine with it, despite all the years I've put into it.

There always OSRS as a option

But nah, doesn't surprise me Jagex are half arsed to do anything, especially considering most of the community management Jmods are jokes anyway's who are clueless about what they are doing. At least OSRS and RS3 united to vote no in the poll.

I have tried OSRS actually But it just doesn't seem to "click" for me for some reason, even though I played it all the time before the time of EOC and RS3 @Hell Naw Man

My only gripe with Osrs was it seriously lacked quality of life updates when I last played it, has that been changed since? Found it hard adapting to no toolbelt, money pouch, running out of run energy every 10 seconds and so on
