It's correct that the very best content of OSRS

This poll gives me the vibes that RS Gold you guys really want to be famous for your communicating with your community, and that you're well knowledgeable about the gaming world about you. Neither of these are particularly correct. Jagex"communicates" with their neighborhood more than a number of other games, but not nearly the maximum, particularly once you don't count surveys which are crampacked full of voting biasing problems, questions that shouldn't be inquired, also (what feels like) intentional misinformation or lack of vital information required to make an educated decision.
You're very fearful of repeatable quests and OSRS HD which will both be discretionary and that won't affect you at all whatsoever, nor will influence Runescape for you since one is decorative and the other won't offer rewards? This type of overreaction makes it difficult to take what you are saying seriously. And new abilities - these things that a sizable majority of players want, but not quite 75% in any particular instance - yes, really Jagex are ignoring their whole player-base here. Do not overlook the large number of people that spite vote against pvp updates just because they don't enjoy the community. Unpolled changes are okay if that is the case.
I agree with about everything you mentioned. It's correct that the very best content of OSRS normally come from BOTH Jagex and community helping each other. But we must not forget that Jagex by his very own is also capable of great surprise when given the chance ( consider the way Twisted League was amazing, and yet we didnt knew much about it before launch ) I think if all League content was polled beforehand, it could have been alot different and probably not as exctiting and surprising. What's wrong with repeatable quests? And here I thought the whole leveling experience would be shattered with this particular one upgrade.
I concur with everything you said except for you getting your panties on fire for them requesting phone number optionally at the close of the survey. There was no requirement, whatsoever, to use your RS email, and you may always offer a fake in Runescape game name if this field was demanded (not sure if it was). Small extreme response for three disciplines you completely had freedom on filling out. Employment status is standard market study. You would answer such a question these days for any survey that's attempting to become serious about the demographics answering the poll.
I might be in the minority Buy Old School RuneScape Gold here but I'd love to see something like dungoneering added. Found it interesting this came up in the survey but unfortunate it had been tied to summoning (yuck). Really enjoyed the team aspects of exploring/randomness and dungoneering to it. Also needing to produce your own gear was cool so that the wealthiest players did not necessarily have an edge going through the ability (nothing against those gamers, only found it was more fun for the ability ). OSRS edition of dung could be sailing. When its repolled yes, it'd be fine for OSRS to get its exclusive skill similar to our exclusive quests.
