Wild/Free Trade Vote: 90% 8% 2%

[G-britt]

Has anyone else noticed that the poll has been looking like this ever since they released it:

90% Yes

8% No

2% Don't give a f**ck

I've been constantly watching the poll and voted on different accounts and never seen a change in percantage for either, even though the vote count has increased by several hundred thousand since I placed my first vote in the referendum.


Any thoughts about this? Personally I guess their poll system either sucks or they have been planning to bring it back from the beginning since they where so quick to change it from the original poll to a referendum.





Also on a sidenote/offtopic:

How come so many people are posting about staking and such, are people just assuming that it will come back and started their planning already or have I been completely blind and not noticed that jagex has already brought it back without making a update about it?



Thats pretty much all I had to say here.

Have a nice day peeps

Your right, I hope it will come back though.

 

[G-britt]

Yeah I hope it will come back too.

Just a little curious as to why they would make a poll that doesnt update in percentage.

If anyone has seen a topic like this one or heard any kind of information about this I would love to hear about it!

Speculations are also welcome

First percentages I saw was 88%; 8%; 4%;

It's changed. Just not recently. This is the period where it levels out. If there were to be any big change in percentage, we've past it.

Just sit tight. JaGex didn't pull this out of their ass.

1. it would take 5K NO votes to let the yes votes drop by 1%
2. mod mark has confirmed that staking will be coming back, not simultaneously with the wild/free trade trough. (later)

@The Riddler_
Aight. Just seemed a bit odd that the percentage wouldnt change during a long period off
time.


@Tiemen
1. How do you know it would take exactly 5k votes to get the yes percentage to drop by 1%?

2. Does that mean you won't be able to stake any amount you want right after free trade is released?

?

Dude... are you serious? Did you fail or not take like basic math in middle school? you can easily calculate it from the percentages and # of votes.... and 5k was not exact it was an estimate.

He knows because of calculations I presume.

Yeah, when the votes were first coming in I saw anywere from 89% yes to 92% yes also the I don't care has been to around 4% It's not flawed, don't worry

 

[G-britt]

Alright


I was actually kind of hoping it was stuck at 90 / 8 / 2 because of some secret jagex plans

But with the current poll it does look like we're getting it anyways.

Mate, don't take a piss for no reasons, the vote count changes all the time so a basic "middle school math calculation" as you say would not be accurate even 2 hours after the calculation was made, would it now?

Completely forgot about that, thanks
