At Runefest we spoke to you about how we could change the poll system to suit your needs better. We wanted to put out this survey to find out what you think of the polls. Any changes that we make will need to go through a poll and will require 75% approval to change.

This survey will close on Wednesday 29th October.

Total Number of Votes: 21,700

How do you vote in a poll?

I vote only through the website		2.4% (531 votes)
I vote mainly through the website		5.6% (1,207 votes)
I vote mainly through the in-game poll booths		31.9% (6,921 votes)
I vote only through the in-game poll booths		60.1% (13,041 votes)

How important is an abstain option for you? This will mean you will not be forced to vote on every question in a poll.

This would be very important to me		19.9% (4,329 votes)
I would find this useful		36.2% (7,853 votes)
This wouldn't make any difference to me		33.3% (7,217 votes)
I would not want this at all		10.6% (2,301 votes)

Should the 75% threshold for an update to pass be changed?

It should be raised significantly		4.5% (986 votes)
It should be raised slightly		8.6% (1,875 votes)
It should not be changed		41.9% (9,103 votes)
It should be lowered slightly		35.4% (7,672 votes)
It should be lowered significantly		9.5% (2,064 votes)

Should the 280 total level requirement to vote be changed?

It should be raised significantly		33.7% (7,308 votes)
It should be raised slightly		20.6% (4,461 votes)
It should not be changed		37.4% (8,124 votes)
It should be lowered slightly		4.1% (896 votes)
It should be lowered significantly		4.2% (911 votes)

Which of these methods do you think we should use as a requirement for voting

Combat level		16.6% (6,336 votes)
Quest points		15.5% (5,930 votes)
In game time		36% (13,731 votes)
Total experience points		31.9% (12,168 votes)
Note: This is a multiple-choice question. Each value reflects the percentage of voters who chose that option. Since players can pick multiple options, this will not add to 100%.

For questions that only impact certain areas of the game, should we apply additional restrictions to who can vote to be sure that only players that would be affected would be able to vote? For example, only players with x number of Castle Wars games would be able to vote on a Castle Wars update.

I think every player should be able to vote in every poll		47.7% (10,357 votes)
I think that only on exceptionally important polls they types of players who can vote should be restricted		33.9% (7,357 votes)
I think most polls should be restricted to those that have a vested interest		18.4% (3,986 votes)
