I didn't vote, but if i was going to, then i would have easily voted NO for artisan (too many skills already), and yes to bounty hunter (was so much fun in the ol' days)
Dude, it's a 7 yr old version of the game with slight content updates, most of which don't pass because 75 percent majority is difficult + most of the proposed stuff just isn't that good...but even if it did all pass there would not be a huge increase in players.
It's never going to get to even 50k players online at once. Runescape is just old.
Given all the variables, the game is fine. The gold market has also not been this healthy in a while.
The playerbase will never be what it once was, people move on. But yeah, as Animalistic said, I doubt there as many bots as you think. My friend tried botting in 07 and got banned within 12 hours.
