Wouldn't you like some recognition?

[Winner5555]

I think the main reason why jagex hasn't already used it is because you can almost never make an update that pleases 100% of the RS population, there's always going to be whiners who would flame the person who came up with the idea.

 

 

 

Another reason would be that the ideas suggested by the players (like you with the rings) had probably been on the bubble for needing an update, and needed a player to confirm their thoughts. After that, they would still need to examine all sides of it to see the pros and cons, such as seeing how it would affect the prices of iron, for now there would almost never be an accidental inventory of iron wasted in p2p

theres probably something in fine print so that when you put an idea in the suggestions forum its copyrighted by jagex.

 

also when you read the terms and conditions everything on your account is jagex property so that might explain something

[Raven6666]

Along with their policy of not naming players, imagine if your name was linked to an uber hard quest, acquiring a weapon, visiting a new area where you can reap the rewards and "suggestions" of such, you would lag as much as, or more than, any of the top 10 players (which usually is about 20times Falador Park World 2.)

 

 

 

I suggested NPC's that would essentially police the world and inquire into matters which include scamming, luring and rule breaking in general, or just bad behaviour etc.; the month later, Player Moderators were initiated. That doesn't mean I gave them the whole idea of Player Mods(or similar), they might've had the thoughts of implenting them in Classic, but saw no need to until there was a large enough customer base, and from that customer base, trustworthy customers.

 

 

 

Any "suggestions" submitted basically are looked over, but 89% of the suggestions are too stupid to be implemented as they are way too eccentric, too detailed for forums, won't fit into the plot of RuneScape or even the "suggestion" would have been masterminded a while before. If someone is suggesting a quest, and the main outline of it attracts JAGeX's attention, they may take the idea, change it to suit them and release it.

 

If you ever see a proposal for a quest, you'll see it usually is an entire quest guide, if a player had written, let's say Desert Treasure or Mourning's End Part 1 and 2, some people may already have a copy of the guide due to it being on the forums, and would finish it in 2 hours tops. JAGeX would feel silly then if someone finishes it in the time they dont expect, they may also make "bugs" and "glitches" if the released quest is similar to that of one "suggested". These "bugs" and "glitches" may not be accidental, and could be used as a bump on the path of anyone trying to speed through it.

 

 

 

Recognition, or even taking the entire "suggestion" would make a fair bit of damage, and if someone really wants to release a quest, they could just write their own RuneScript on a private modded version of RS, though due to JAGeX not wanting any unofficial copies of the game, most "quests" or "minigames" suggested are just not looked at unless it fits into the way one of the Staff would write the code, such as penguins, squirrels or something in fractals which might be passed around the Boardroom Table.

 

 

 

Simply put, recognition is just not in the picture for the moment due to the number of problems that will arise.

Yea, jagex should speak up more about the ideas from the players. They probably wouldn't do it because its a blemish on the businesses reputation. "welcome scapers! we ran out of ideas, so we dug into the suggestions forum and found this thread by [insert name]. great idea! if only we thought of it!"

[blouinator]

be proud they used ur idea.

[warren211]

well, it could be to keep players safe. I mean, can anyone think of ONE update where nobody had a complaint? If they found out the thing they ranted about was a player idea, they'd send hate pms flooding the poor guy's chatbox. This could be the most selfless thing jagex has done-- allow all the criticism to go directly to them.

[tzone92]

I think that when Jagex uses an idea from the forums, it might not be the first time they consider that idea. Jagex, I'm sure, has enough people working on updates, that they think up many more ideas for updates than that they actually implement into the game. They probably think up a few ideas, and decide from amongst those ideas which ones to use. I'm sure that they consider many factors before choosing those ideas, and one of those factors is most definitely the player's opinions. Jagex reads through the polls and forums before deciding on every update. They may have been considering on updating the ring of forging before they read your thread. When they saw how the player's thought about it, they made it a top priority at one point, and then updated it then.

What you post on Jagex forums is there property

[whocares]

No, the point of the suggestion forum is to post suggestions in order to improve the game for your own good and others' goods, not to spam or post suggestions just because you want recognition. There are other ways to get recognition if you want it that badly.

[Bloodveld]

So you're not happy enough that they add what you want, you have to be recognized for it? :roll:

[Arch_Tyrant]

Also, I would like to remind everyone that this is a Discussion thread NOT a Suggestions thread. You can flame the idea of player recognition all you want but don't flame me.

 

 

 

 

-.-

[malo2]

It would probably be too much of pain trying to figure out who originally came up with the idea and who didn't, and it isn't Jagex's style anyway :P

[snakebite420]

yes, same here i would love some recognition, but remeber there was probally 100 more people that came up with almsot the same idea, and they cant post recognition for everysingle thing they do from that many players plus name them =) but it would be nice, but it wont happen...good thought tho

[Alg]

I think this is a great idea i mean of course if someone comes up with an idea that jagex uses then ya they're gona want credit especially if its a big idea like the skill capes

 

skillcapes were player suggested...

 

 

 

that, and there are too many posers. if a name was plastered on something, you'd see everyone claiming to be that person...

[Blackarch2]

I think they should. The skill capes? Not an original JaGeX RS2 invention #-o

 

 

 

I saw some man, I forget his name, on the forums and he posted the capes. He had almost 4,000 supporters by the end and JaGeX waited a year later. Gratz to the unknown \

[ortiz9471]

That was a very, very common suggestion, brought to JaGEx's attention several times. I was going to suggest it about a year ago but I saw I think 2 threads on the front page of suggestions and didn't bother :

 

 

 

That's just one example (I'm not trying to pick on you, honest. It's just why make up an example or go find one when you provided a perfectly good one?) of where it would be difficult to give people recognition. Do you give it to the first person who suggested it? But then again, who was the first person. Do you give credit to everybody who suggested? What about all the people whose posts were lost at page 51? How do you count those?

 

 

 

It would cause confusion, and if somebody got recognition for an idea while somebody who had the same idea but with a more thought out and formal suggestion didn't, would the latter of the two be frustrated?

 

 

 

I think it's a bad idea. Very bad.

 

 

 

Edit:and too the person above me, there was a post on these forums about it too :D I think it was jessy.. I'm not sure. Probably wasn't as I don't remember it too clearly :-w
