Its a holiday for pete's sake! We're all celebrating! Everyone should have access to the events; why exclude a group?! Why do we even have groups, we're all people.

 

 

 

and who cares, this might just be a one time thing with the vote. but then again who knows. Personally I like surprises way better than: "Hey dad, can you buy me a that pair of jeans ... christmas ... oh wow, the pair of jeans i wanted"

 

 

 

I wanted the broom, but the hood looks tremendous, who cares if members has 20 something hoods; the grim reaper hood looks way better imo.

 

 

 

And if you're still bummed about the hood, and think f2p is the reason for that, then you should know Jagex got those suggestions from the rs forums in the first place, yeah from p2p thats right. The hood problem started with members, yeah you just got pwned.

No one cares if you used $200 or $5, the point still stands.

 

And you don't get to decide anything, Jagex does.

 

Even WITH the vote they could choose to make mutant apes which attack you with hypodermic needles for halloween instead, and all you can do is bend over.

 

Don't think $5 a month is going to get you anywhere, after all you are merely RENTING your account.

 

 

 

If they let the polls open, then the people who pay for the game, who care enough to give money to the company, should get the say.

 

 

 

I don't even care about the event, I did it as soon as it came out, droped the hood, and had fun with the emote. Im arguing that people who pay for the game should vote, even if it doesn't count. Not people who 'free load' their accounts.

 

Lol, who care to give money to the company... ? Don't say that. The previous posts make it more like you, and many other payers DEMAND this, and DEMAND that, because you are payers.

 

p2p gets no say, just because they are paying for members.

 

Members is alot of other things, not the right to win votes.

P2p should get a say, the complete vote. It should be a vote amongst P2p, and f2p should get what we give them. Thats how I feel.

 

 

 

The way i look at it, it is fair. Thats my opinion, and its not going to change.

 

 

 

And don't think I'm the only one who feels that way :roll:

First off, I'm f2p :).

 

 

 

I do believe we deserve the holiday updates as it's ONLY 3 updates a year. Members get what, 3-4 updates a month?

 

 

 

Also we have the ads. I'm sure some people click on the ads, which is more money for Jagex.

 

 

 

Even though we don't have any hoods, I would've liked something else because I'd rather wear my santa . But I'm fine with whatever Jagex gives us.

i think they should get to participate, get a reward, (but members get that, and another after a 2nd task, unlike this year :x ) but i don't think ANYONE should get to vote for what the reward is.

I totally agree, why can't F2p have a say in holiday events? okay it ruins the surprise which is a bummer but I don't think that just because P2p pay every month gives them the right to control what Jagex updates. Just enjoy the updates you are given and F2p will enjoy theirs. End of.

Only members voted, so it wouldn't really have been much of a difference.

 

 

 

In my opinion, I think F2P should be able to vote. How is your opinion better than anybody else's just because you pay at least $5 per month?

I don't really get the exact concept behind the question of this thread.

 

But yes F2P players should have the right to vote and get holiday items. What is that question for? Aren't we players and playing the same game too? I know that some P2P players are feeling a bit surprised and depressed because they already got a hood but F2P players didn't really want a hood anyway. They just wanted a new/nice/attractive Halloween event that make them happy in the game. They have the right to get a gift for Halloween ;).

 

 

 

I don't know why F2P get blamed at everything. It isn't our fault. You don't even have a single evidence that F2P mostly voted for the hood. If you have the evidence then you have the right to complain, if not then why complaining?

 

 

 

In fact, you can't blame/argue/discuss over something that doesn't have a single evidence or proof.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kind Regards.

F2p should vote on a poll that affects F2p.

 

Hah!! You don't give us anything!

 

Your 5$ doesn't go to us, they all go to Jagex which updates the P2p version every week and very rarely updates F2p and you make it sound like you are the fine rich snob and F2p is trash to you.

 

Just because you pay 5$ does not mean you can vote on a poll which will affect F2p.

 

F2p can't vote on polls that affects P2p only.

 

If you haven't noticed it's the 21st Century, it's not like it was 100 Years ago where a man could pay to get more votes.

 

 

 

Just use common sence, why would you like to vote in a poll that only affects F2p, for example, should F2p get more bank space or not, you are a member so it does not affect you at all.

Actually I believe they should because being a veteran F2per, I used to only be able to look forward to the holiday updates. Anyway I think this should be in the questionarre.

I think f2p should get the events because face it 1 everyone deserves to get the holiday items, they're awesome and 2 if they didn't there'd be rioting. I don't think f2p should get to vote upon the poll though, because its like going out to dinner with friends and you pool $60 then another person you know walks in and wants to discuss upon what you're to get for dinner(and you can only get a very large shared meal). Point is, people who don't pay shouldn't decide were the money goes. and I also like how Christmas 2006 had a members only item in addition to the f2p.

I say they should scrap the voting. It always was a surprise and both sides could partake, so why change now?

 

What I think there should be, is a p2p aspect to the rewards that you can only get if you are p2p. For example, everyone gets the hood, but p2p can get the broom as well. If you're f2p when you complete the holiday event, you get the p2p part from Diango once you've paid for members. It could be a nice little push for some people to go members.

 

I agree. It was nice the one Christmas where everyone got something and members got Christmas tree \

Yeps, I agree and to who ever said it should be surprise, your right, i'd much ratehr be surprised then basically know the location and reward, kind of kills the thrill.

Incidentally, here's the poll results:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hood beat the broomstick by a mere 63 votes. That really begged for an option to get the hood OR the broomstick... Thanks, guys...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im guessing you failed math?

Lay off will ya, no need to call people out like that (lol I r hippocrite)

 

Although you are 202 votes off by your subtraction I think perhaps the hood shouldn have been all reward and the brrom be p2p

f2p does get access to the event, but I think we should be the only ones voting since we are the ones paying. f2p should be glad to get what it gets but don't deserve a say in it.

 

 

 

May I ask why? :-k

 

 

 

We are affected, we vote then. f2p rarely gets updates(besides graphical updates, which are rare)

 

 

 

People who wine over the hood:

 

 

 

Why? It's only for fun, and, i can assure you that quite alot of people voted for the broom because they thinked it would literally "fly" in the air and travel to places. It was really close, but the hood still won, maybe next year the broom will be there. Besides, it's the first f2p hood, maybe alot of low-leveled newbs voted for the hood. But still, it WON. Stop whining, that thing won't affect you. :shame:

As I made an example in earlier post, we're paying, but your taking art in the decision, be greatful for the update, though it is always truely for fun and I believe the event should be for everyone, my first event I was f2p and I would have been mad if I wasn't able to obtain the rubber chicken but I think they should do away with the voting.

 

I agree. It was nice the one Christmas where everyone got something and members got Christmas tree \

 

 

 

So it was nice for members because they got the Christmas tree and F2p players didn't get it? that sounds a bit harsh but anyway, we really didn't care about it. it was something from the past and now it's gone. It's only a game for fun. We don't really make comparisons between members and non members (well for me obviously).

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know why people are complaining here, isn't it a game for fun? So why do you care if F2P players have the right to vote or not? seriously it is just a waste of time.

 

 

 

 

 

Kind Regards

You can't pay for votes.

 

 

 

Of course some of the p2p people voted for another thing. Personally, i voted for the brooch that makes you a bone.(pking in boneyard f2p anyone?)

Ive always stood by the meaning of UP to one year of play freely, then the account must become a member to continue playing. I never believed that f2p should have such a huge effect in polls that more greatly affect the members.

I honestly think that the only people who should be able to vote in Guaranteed Content polls are people who are either 100+ combat or 1300+ total level. It is stupid to put the fate of an update in the hands of lower levels, who are less experienced in the game. You don't let bums vote on laws, do you? No. You vote for representatives to do it for you, because the average Joe is too ignorant to be able to make the best choice. The same should apply to these votes in Runescape. People with less than 1300 total or who are under 100 combat have not played long enough to be able to know what the game needs, so they are apt to choose things like the Varrock Diary because it is "familiar" or because it "looks nice."

I say that Jagex should just do away with the voting. Lets put it this way... If you didn't know they were choosing between a broom and a hood, would you be complaining if you got the hood? Surprise us, and we won't complain... let us know that they'res something better.... ten to one you will have droves of rants.

 

 

 

Btw, I believe that F2P should get one item and that P2P should have two parts.

Just so everybody knows, this topic isn't meant for people to flame F2P, I noticed a lot of people were discussing this in other topics and decided to make a thread for it.

 

 

 

Anyway, personally I do think F2P players should be able to enjoy the events, but I do think members should get an extra something.

 

The events are kind of like a thanks for keeping on playing in my eyes, so I think members should get more or a reward since they ensure Jagex can keep running.

 

 

 

As for the polls, I don't think they should be used for things like holiday events, it really does ruin the surprise. Really, they should be used to decide upon things we're already expecting (like which quest storyline should they continue next) otherwise it can ruin the surprise and lead to pointless speculation.

Wait... Wait! Now wait a minute!

 

f2p did not vote at all.

 

I couldn't vote. How did f2p have a vote at all. I remember I tried, but I couldn't...

 

So... why are you bashing f2p up? I need an f2p who actually voted to tell me. Not a mem who thinks.
